Hydrogen as a Core Component of U.S. and EU Climate Policies: State Aid, Market Dynamics, and the Transatlantic Policy Divergence

Résumé

This piece reflects on the implementation of the European Union’s (EU) Green Deal Industrial Plan concerning hydrogen production and its implications for competition policy. A comparison is drawn between the United States’ (U.S.) recently adopted Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), emphasizing the differences in their approaches, specifically with regard to the selectivity of aid measures. While the U.S. follows a non-selective approach, offering tax benefits to any company willing to produce in the United States, the EU promotes hydrogen production under the Important Project of Common European Interest program (IPCEI), an exceptionally massive transnational state subsidy program. The selectivity inherent in the IPCEI program could raise competition issues within the EU Single Market, thereby creating a less innovative and growing market than the U.S. one. By exploring in detail, the EU’s new selective approach and contrasting it with the U.S.’s non-selective approach, this paper aims to provide insights into the transatlantic policy divergence and its implications for the global climate and green energy agenda.
