Canada hydrogen sector faces defining year as projects seek momentum
February 20, 2026
Argus reports that CBAM has come under fire from European hydrogen industry groups opposing a proposed clause that could suspend key products from the mechanism.
European clean hydrogen associations are urging lawmakers to reject a proposed clause that would allow temporary suspension of products such as fertilizers from the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
Industry groups warn the measure would weaken investor confidence, disrupt fertilizer markets and undermine incentives for clean hydrogen, ammonia and green steel projects.
They argue CBAM has been a key driver of decarbonisation investment and that uncertainty over its future scope could delay projects and expose markets to continued fossil fuel price volatility.
