Abstract

Certification schemes are emerging globally to establish emissions credentials for hydrogen. In 2023, the European Union's (EU) delegated regulations supplementing the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II) codified when on-grid renewable electricity used in electrolytic production can be categorised as ‘renewables based’. This determines which hydrogen is eligible towards EU climate targets, and could impact industry development. While prior analyses have focused on implications for EU producers, the EU's expected hydrogen demand means this policy will affect international exporters. The reliance of RED II rules on electricity market features such as bidding zones may create challenges for certification alignment in overseas electricity markets.
