The Federal District has taken a significant step in the energy transition agenda by expanding its public policy focused on hydrogen. With the enactment of Law No. 7,839/2025, the Federal District updated and expanded the District Hydrogen Policy, originally focused on low-carbon hydrogen, to encompass all low-carbon hydrogen (H2BC) routes. This measure aligns district legislation with the recently established federal framework and positions the capital as one of the most adv

The UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard – Version 4 report, published in January 2026, marks a new stage in the UK's strategy to structure a hydrogen market aligned with climate goals and the operational realities of the energy system. Updated periodically since its original 2022 version, the standard reflects the evolution of regulatory, technological, and industrial learning, consolidating itself as the main instrument for defining what is considered low-carbon hydrogen in the

The European Hydrogen Policy Landscape report offers an updated and comprehensive overview of the regulatory ecosystem shaping hydrogen deployment in Europe. The document consolidates European and national policies, legislation, strategies, and standards. This is a substantial update of the previous edition, published in January 2025, incorporating advances made in the interim and reflecting the accelerated pace of institutional consolidation of hydrogen as a pillar of the Eu

The National Confederation of Industry (CNI) recently launched a publication entitled “Hydrogen Certification: Benchmarking the Certification Process and Contributions to Brazil,” which addresses the decisive moment for the national energy future. By comparing the criteria adopted by various countries and proposing guidelines for Brazil, the study seeks to build the foundations for consolidating low-carbon hydrogen (H₂BC) as a central vector of the energy and industrial trans

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) announced that the decree regulating Laws No. 14,948/2024 and No. 14,990/2024 — pillars of the legal framework for low-carbon hydrogen in Brazil — will be signed next week. The measure, expected to be announced during COP30 in Belém (PA), consolidates fundamental guidelines for the new national energy frontier, offering regulatory predictability and signaling to the national and international market Brazil's commitment to the energy tran

During the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Pará, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and the Financing Agency for Studies and Projects (Finep) announced three calls for proposals focused on research and innovation in sustainability, totaling R$ 460 million in investments. This initiative reinforces Brazil's role as a global leader in the climate agenda and in promoting scientific development committed to environmental pres

Three of the UK's leading energy and transport sector associations have joined forces to pressure the British government to act quickly in defining policies that ensure the role of hydrogen in the decarbonization of land transport. The Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA), in partnership with the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), sent a joint letter to the government asking that the next update of the UK Hydrogen Strategy keep open

In a strategic move to structure the nascent Brazilian low-carbon hydrogen market, the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP) published the manual "Low-carbon hydrogen: a manual for requesting authorizations." The document, released on October 16, 2025, guides economic agents interested in operating in the sector while specific resolutions on the topic are still pending—a fundamental step toward providing predictability and legal certainty to initiative
