On February 27th 2025, MED-GEM Network held a CBAM Helpdesk Kickoff Meeting, marking a significant milestone in supporting partner countries in understanding the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and green hydrogen certification processes. The session was led by key experts from the GIZ International Power-to-X Hub and the EU Commission, focusing on providing guidance and structured assistance to stakeholders involved in renewable hydrogen production and export.
The Mediterranean Green Electrons and Green Molecules (MED-GEM) Network has launched a monthly helpdesk dedicated to Renewable Hydrogen (ReH2) Certification and CBAM compliance for Southern Mediterranean Countries (SMC). This initiative responds to the growing demand for clarity on EU voluntary certification schemes and regulatory frameworks, as many partner countries aim to develop their domestic ReH2 sectors for energy security, economic growth, and potential exports to the EU.
