Italy can run a state aid scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen, after the European Commission decided not to raise objections. The scheme has a total budget of EUR 6 billion, with EUR 400 million available each year, and can run until 31 December 2029. The measure matters for companies involved in renewable hydrogen and for businesses planning to use low-carbon energy in their operations. Eligible companies across economic sectors may be able to receive operating support, while energy and industrial players should watch for Italian application rules and funding calls.
