Green hydrogen's industrial moment is arriving physically—with 100 MW of electrolysers shipping to Salzgitter and the first external offtake deal signed—but regulatory and infrastructure bottlenecks threaten to choke scale-up, as disjointed EU RFNBO certification rules stall imports and Spain's grid congestion puts billions in hydrogen investment at risk. The simultaneous release of SBTi's Net-Zero Standard V2.0 raises the bar on corporate decarbonization commitments, increasing demand-side pressure for exactly the green molecules and grid capacity that supply-side barriers are constraining.

GHG Protocol
· EU · SBTi News
The Science Based Targets initiative released Version 2.0 of its Corporate Net-Zero Standard on 11 June 2026. The updated framework introduces a suite of new options intended to better reflect business realities while maintaining scientific rigor, following multiple rounds of public consultation and updates to the Absolute Contraction Approach earlier this year.

Hydrogen
· DE · Hydrogen Insight
A major German steel producer has signed its first offtake agreement for green hydrogen from an external supplier, marking a shift from reliance on on-site production alone. Details on volume, price, and supplier identity were not disclosed in the headline.

Hydrogen
· EU · Hydrogen Insight
A Hydrogen Insight exclusive reports that inconsistent EU regulatory frameworks and a shortage of accredited auditors are creating bottlenecks for RFNBO imports into Europe. The issue threatens to delay compliance timelines for fuel suppliers under RED II/III mandates.

Batteries
· FI · Charged EVs
UP Catalyst has announced plans for a 20,000 tonnes/year battery-grade graphite production facility in Finland, using a CO₂ molten salt electrolysis process. The technology converts CO₂ into synthetic graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes, potentially reducing European dependence on Chinese graphite supply.

Grids Package
· ES · El Periódico de la Energía
El Periódico de la Energía reports that grid connection bottlenecks in Spain are undermining multi-billion-euro green hydrogen projects. The inability to secure grid access for large-scale electrolysers is forcing project delays and cancellations, despite Spain's abundant renewable resources.

· FR · CRE Délibérations
France's energy regulator CRE issued a decision on 21 May 2026 updating the tariff schedule for public electricity distribution networks (HTA and BT voltage levels) effective 1 August 2026, including evolution of the Rf parameter. The decision affects grid access costs for industrial and commercial users.
