        Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for hydrogen produced

        The Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for hydrogen produced in the Czech Republic, delivered to the transmission or distribution system, or to a filling station during one calendar month. Each GO represents 1 MWh of delivered hydrogen, valid for one year from the end date of production. The goals include ensuring accurate measurement and calculation of produced hydrogen, facilitating international transactions through the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB), and maintaining sustainability criteria. Quantitative targets involve issuing GOs for a minimum of 1 MWh and enabling transfers within the Czech Republic and AIB member states.

        Obligation for biofuel release for consumption

        In Italy, in line with European directives, the obligation has been introduced for suppliers of petrol and diesel to release biofuels for consumption, in order to develop the supply chain and reduce emissions into the atmosphere from the transport sector. The obligation is based on a quota system defined and updated by the Ministerial Decree of 10 October 2014 and subsequent amendments and additions. The minimum annual quantity of biofuels that the obliged entities must release for consumption is calculated on the basis of the energy content of petrol and diesel released for consumption in the same year. Lastly, the…

        Economic Assessment of Green Energy Park Concepts (EAGEPC).

        The assessment report, published in January 2026, finds that data centres are expected to be the major LEU tenant initially in any future Green Energy Park development, in addition to other industrial demand sectors such as Pharma, Food & Nutrition, Material/Chemical Production, Tech Manufacturing and Distilleries. Initial economic analysis undertaken in 2024/2025 suggests that a substantial gross value add and jobs boost can be expected from both the development and fully operational phases of a Green Energy Park. This economic analysis indicates that the development of a hypothetical GEP scenario could add as much as €3,069M gross…

        National Hydrogen Strategic Outlook

        Initial scoping document identifying the potential for hydrogen in a low-emissions future. The document covers scenarios and defines some broad areas for action, but it does not define quantitative targets, responsible, KPIs or timeline for the actions which are expected from a full strategy. The country currently produces about 240 ktpa of hydrogen for methanol (50%), urea (33%) and refining. Scenarios to 2050 foresee growth to 520 ktpa and 1.2 Mtpa by 2050 (Balanced and Accelerated scenario respectively) with 60-85% for exports. This would require 9-17.5 GW of renewables, out of which almost two thirds…
