Regulation Node: Clean hydrogen in the chemical industry - from energy carrier to industrial feedstock

BalticSeaH2 and CETPartnership invite you to an online Regulation Node session focusing on the role of clean hydrogen in the chemical industry.

Clean hydrogen is often discussed as an energy carrier for transport, power balancing or fuels. In the chemical industry, however, hydrogen is also a critical material feedstock. Ammonia, fertilizers, methanol and several petrochemical products already rely on hydrogen today, most of it still produced from fossil sources.

A transition to clean hydrogen could transform these value chains. It could support lower-carbon fertilizer production, enable circular carbon pathways in petrochemicals and open new routes for sustainable chemical products.

At the same time, hydrogen policy discussions often focus on energy markets, infrastructure and fuels. This raises an important question: does the current EU regulatory framework sufficiently recognise hydrogen’s role in industrial material value chains?
