Draft act introduces initial regulatory framework for functioning of green hydrogen market in Poland
The development of the hydrogen economy has been recognised as one of the priorities for the implementation of the European Green Deal, the main goal of which is to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. Poland is Europe's third-largest producer of hydrogen; however, its production is done exclusively with fossil fuels for companies' own needs. The regulations currently in force in Poland do not provide adequate conditions for the effective implementation of the strategy for the development of the green (renewable) hydrogen market.

Starthilfe für Österreichs Wasserstoffproduktion
Der Ministerrat hat eine Regierungsvorlage zum Wasserstoffförderungsgesetz (WFöG) beschlossen. Es soll der österreichischen Wasserstoffproduktion Starthilfe leisten, indem die Produktion von erneuerbarem Wasserstoff gefördert wird. Ein Anschub ist auch erforderlich, um bis 2030 die in der österreichischen Wasserstoffstrategie vorgesehene Installation von 1 Gigawatt Elektrolysekapazität zu erreichen. Das Mittelvolumen wurde gegenüber dem Ministerialentwurf mehr als verdoppelt. Insgesamt stellt der Bund 820 Millionen Euro für wettbewerbliche Auktionen in den Jahren 2024 bis 2026 bereit.

Serbia: Diving into the CBAM Regulation: how does it function alongside the EU ETS?
As noted in our previous article on this topic, the CBAM is a new carbon tariff instrument introduced as part of the EU's Fit for 55 package, a strategy to reduce the EU's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030. The CBAM applies to imports into the EU of certain products and is based on the emissions generated in their production outside of the EU. Currently, in the transitional phase of the CBAM, importers only have the obligation to report on the amount of emissions embedded in the products they import, but from 2026 onwards they will also be obliged to buy and surrender CBAM certificates to cover for these emissions. Therefore, under the CBAM, non-EU producers will not only have to assist their EU partners in the reporting process, but also potentially face significant impacts on their businesses as a result of the new financial burdens importers will encounter.
