European Council adopts hydrogen infrastructure position
Proposed hydrogen and gas markets package includes creation of new body for hydrogen network operators
The European Council has agreed on its general approaches towards the hydrogen and gas markets decarbonisation package, including the creation of a new body for hydrogen network operators to manage dedicated hydrogen infrastructure and interconnections. Before the establishment of the new body, to be called the European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen (Ennoh), the European Commission will set up a temporary platform with the EU’s Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators, the European network of transmission system operators for gas and electricity (Entsog and Entsoe, respectively), and the EU’s Distribution System Operators entity. Entsog will be responsible for the developm
