The regulatory landscape for hydrogen and waste heat has been examined across the EU and in eight selected Member States and will be summarized in the HyEfRe Policy and Legal Framework Assessment report.
While hydrogen has gained significant attention throughout the EU, driven in part by European legislation and national hydrogen strategies, the topic of waste heat recovery and integration remains comparatively underdeveloped in most national contexts.
Across all phases of the assessment, barriers within the existing regulatory frameworks were analysed, particularly those that could hinder the practical implementation of hydrogen and waste heat solutions. These findings will form the basis for HyEfRe’s Policy Recommendations, which will offer actionable proposals to improve the enabling environment at national and EU levels.
The findings revealed a diverse regulatory landscape. Some countries have already developed robust hydrogen regulations and are working on further measures, such as mandatory green gas quotas in the national gas supply. Others, however, have yet to go beyond the minimum EU requirements, and in some cases, even basic implementation is still pending.
