Climate Protection Contracts

Germany has allocated €2.8 billion to support climate protection contracts, including but not limited to hydrogen-based technologies. Through the Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD) scheme, the program provides significant funding to help industries transition to low-carbon processes, such as green steel production using renewable hydrogen. The initiative supports compliance with the EU hydrogen taxonomy, which requires hydrogen to achieve at least a 70% reduction in lifetime greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel alternatives, and contributes to Germany’s broader goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045.
