Webinar on the EU Hydrogen Mechanism’s offtake collection

On 12 November 2025, the European Commission launched the first call for interest under the Hydrogen Mechanism. This initiative connects suppliers of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen or derivatives (ammonia, methanol, eSAF and eMethane) with potential offtakers.

The submission phase for supply offers closed on 2 January 2026. It attracted significant interest, with more than 260 projects placed by European and international suppliers. 

The offtake collection window will begin on 20 January and last until 20 March 2026. 

This online webinar will allow you to learn more about the offtake collection window It is open to industry, financial institutions, academia, and interested stakeholders and will cover

• a high-level presentation of the supply offers collected
• a tutorial on how to place a demand request, including a live demonstration of the Hydrogen Mechanism

Background

The Regulation on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen (EU/2024/1789) mandates the Commission to set up and operate the mechanism under the European Hydrogen Bank until the end of 2029.

The Hydrogen Mechanism is designed to empower stakeholders by matching and aggregating demand and supply, informing infrastructure development and linking with the financial solutions. In practice, the Mechanism will

• Collect market information on demand and supply for voluntary market participants, and on financial solutions tailored for hydrogen from public and private institutions
• Organise calls for interest for the collected demand and supply volume and provide matchmaking services. Volumes can be aggregated in terms of profile or volume
• Provide a platform for collecting interest in infrastructure projects development.
• Collect and display information about financial products placed by partner financial institutions
