EU Hydrogen Mechanism

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the General Directorate of International Agreements and European Union of the Ministry of Trade, a copy of which is submitted in the Annex, notifies that the Hydrogen Mechanism established under the Energy and Raw Materials Platform of the European Union (EU) became operational on 2 July 2025.
The said Platform was established in order to strengthen EU companies in terms of access to energy products and raw materials, thereby contributing to competitiveness, decarbonisation and diversification of sources.
The Hydrogen Mechanism aims to support the market development of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives (ammonia, methanol, electro-sustainable aviation fuel 'eSAF').
This Mechanism will strengthen European and global companies with regard to the demand and supply uncertainty, lack of infrastructure and significant financing gaps that hinder the development of the hydrogen market; it will activate market dynamics by bringing buyers and sellers together on an open and transparent platform and will enable market players to find potential commercial partners. In this context, relevant stakeholders will be able to subscribe to the EU Hydrogen Mechanism by registering on the Platform. It has been announced that the first round of demand and supply matching will take place in September 2025.
Under EU Regulation No. 2024/1789 on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen, the Commission is empowered to establish and operate, through the European Hydrogen Bank initiative, a mechanism to support the development of the hydrogen market until the end of 2029. The Hydrogen Mechanism that has become operational can be accessed via the following link: https://energy-platform.ec.europa.eu/
