The hydrogen industry is starting 2025 on a brighter note after what has been described by the industry as a “blank year”.
Since 2021, France has planned to give a financial aid to selected producers of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. The Ordinance of 17 February 2021 on hydrogen (the “Ordinance”) set up the legal framework governing the granting of this financial aid, and was later specified by a Decree dated 1 September 2023. These texts are codified in articles L.812-1 and R.812-1 et seq. of the Energy Code.
