Announced in June as part of the European Hydrogen Bank (EHB), the tool is designed to improve market transparency, aggregate data, and connect producers, infrastructure players, and consumers.
The bloc has launched a call for interest targeting producers of green and low-carbon hydrogen and derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, and eSAF.
In the future, buyers from industrial, energy, or transport companies can express interest in those supply offers once the Commission publishes anonymised information.
The submission phase runs until 2 January 2026, with the call and expression of interest opening on 19 January.
Policymakers have claimed the platform will provide demand signals that will support planning and investment decisions.
“Today’s call marks a new chapter in the EU’s support to the European industry and its competitive decarbonisation,” explained the Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen.
The mechanism comes under the EU Energy and Raw Materials platform, which provides matching for raw materials, natural gas, and biomethane.
