“The EEG levy exemption makes the electrochemical production of green hydrogen significantly more economical and thus more competitive compared to conventional hydrogen production,” the energy ministry writes in the bill. So are energy intensive companies, such as large chemical plants, who largely focus on electrolysis, regardless of the origin of the electricity used in production. Producers of green hydrogen, who use renewable energy for the process, are exempt.
The EEG levy is generally paid by all electricity consumers with their power bills and the money is used to pay for feed-in support of renewable installations. This will make the electricity used in the process cheaper. To make the ramp-up of electrolysers more attractive, they will be partially exempt from the renewable energy surcharge ( EEG levy). In doing so, we are ensuring a rapid market ramp-up of this technology of the future and implementing an important goal of the National Hydrogen Strategy." The government cabinet has agreed on a set of rules accompanying the latest version of the Renewable Energy Act ( EEG) which specify support for new hydrogen production facilities and other renewable installations such as biogas plants and agri-solar PV.Įnergy minister Peter Altmaier said: "We are creating clear and pragmatic requirements for green hydrogen.
