Webinar: EU regulatory framework and certification in a nutshell
Which product requirements exist at the EU level which Algeria should be aware of for its future export of hydrogen from renewable electricity? How does the certification process to fulfil these requirements work? These were two key questions that Jan-Hendrik Scheyl, PtX Hub Expert for Certification & Sustainability answered in a webinar dedicated to the EU regulatory framework and certification on April 11th 2023, with energy professionals in Algeria.
During the webinar, Jan-Hendrik Scheyl offered an overview of key EU climate and energy policies before delving into the two Delegated Acts and its requirements around assessing GHG emissions savings and criteria for hydrogen to qualify as “of renewable origin”. In a second part, he elaborated on the relevance and functions of certification systems, followed by an overview of the certification landscape in the EU specifically. He stressed that although these requirements focus on an EU context, it is important for non-EU countries to be aware of these rules and procedures in order shape and develop a country specific hydrogen/PtX narrative that is looking outwards to Europe and inwards to Algeria at the same time. The recording of the session can be viewed below.
The webinar was part of a jointly implemented webinar series by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the German Development Bank KFW and the Hamburg University of Technology, commissioned by the Federal German Ministry Econonic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Federal German Ministry of Economy and Climate Action (BMWK).
