Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F

Fa. whereas apart from hydrogen production, it is also necessary to expand on hydrogen distribution networks and other relevant transport infrastructures in order to avoid bottlenecks;
Amendment 36 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Calls on the Commission to establish the necessary measures for the realisation of a physical European Hydrogen Bank which will serve as a one- stop shop for European financing of hydrogen and also as a platform of expertise;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls that the only sustainable form of hydrogen is renewable hydrogen; notes that electrolysers account for less than 4 % of total hydrogen production in the EU; notes that low-carbon hydrogen cshould play an important role during the transition to a net-zero economy and for the fast ramp-up of the hydrogen market;
Amendment 52 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that, to secure the EU’s industrial sovereignty in a context of open strategic autonomy, the EHB should strongly prioritisesupport ramping up domestic production;
Amendment 54 #

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Notes that a predictable and less volatile price path is necessary to create investment certainty for indispensable investments in hydrogen production and hydrogen infrastructure;

Paragraph 3 b (new)
Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Asks the Commission to consider complementary mechanisms such as grants, contracts for difference and carbon contracts for difference as well as the combination of the European Hydrogen Bank’s financial support with State aid in order to help reducing the cost gap between renewable or low-carbon hydrogen and fossil energies ;
Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
Amendment 95 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 a (new)
Paragraph 9 a (new)
9a. Stresses that the restriction of hydrogen use only to hard-to-abate industries and heavy transport will hamper the fast ramp-up of the hydrogen market; stresses the importance of an open and market-based framework;
Amendment 101 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Asks the Commission to not only consider price, but also to include a clear system of bonus points for the ranking of bids; notes that such a system should reward bids that deliver the highest level of sustainability or lead to significant job creation and promote high-quality traineeships and the reskilling , increase competition in the internal market by supporting emerging companies (start-ups/SMEs) to enter the market, and/or supskilling of workersport a regionally even development of the European hydrogen market;
Amendment 134 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Stresses that some regions of the world have much better conditions for the production of renewable hydrogen due to an abundance of space and renewable electricity; stresses the mutually beneficial nature of energy partnerships with third countries; stresses the need for hydrogen diplomacy;
Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Recalls that the CBAM will apply to hydrogen; calls on the Commission to deliver a robust certification scheme for imports of renewable hydrogen, equivalent to the rules applying to domestic production; calls on the Commission to ensure that the inclusion of hydrogen in the CBAM does not lead to burdensome bureaucratic processes and therefore hinder hydrogen imports to the EU;
Amendment 178 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21 a (new)
Paragraph 21 a (new)
21a. Expresses concern that industries are currently dealing with a patchwork of different financial support instruments for the production of hydrogen; calls on the Commission to make the EHB an one- stop-shop for the financing of hydrogen;
Amendment 181 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 22 a (new)
Paragraph 22 a (new)
22a. Notes that according to the draft design of the pilot auction, the realisation period after the funding commitment until the start of hydrogen production is set at 3.5 years with a 6 months transition period; suggests that, due to unpredictable events like long delivery times for electrolysers or permitting problems, an extension of the realisation period to at least 5 years should be considered;
Amendment 190 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23 a (new)
Paragraph 23 a (new)
23a. Stresses that attention should be given to the creation of a robust EU market regulatory framework for hydrogen in order to establish a well- functioning market for hydrogen, which in turn supports price discovery and risk transfers;
