E-Bridge Consulting has successfully concluded the market consultation for Hydex© and HydexPLUS© and would like to express heartfelt thanks for the numerous and constructive feedback received. Together with market participants, we were able to further develop the parameters of the H2 indices and adapt them to current market conditions.

The following changes will take effect as of January 1, 2025:

• Adjustment of specific investment costs:
  • Hydex & HydexPLUS green: 1,970 EUR/kWel
  • Hydex & HydexPLUS blue: 1,600 EUR/kWH2
  • Hydex & HydexPLUS grey: 900 EUR/kWH2
• Update of O&M costs:
  • Hydex & HydexPLUS green: 3.2% of investment costs
• Addition of electricity charges:
  • StromNEV levy and a service charge for electricity procurement: Hydex & HydexPLUS green 6.86 EUR/MWh

These updates are based on the latest reference data from the European Hydrogen Observatory and contribute to making the indices even more robust and market-oriented. HydexPLUS remains a key component of climate protection contracts by reflecting the costs of green hydrogen production and forming the basis for fair subsidy assessments.

A special thanks to all participants whose valuable input significantly contributed to improving the indices.

If you have any questions or remarks, feel free to reach out to us. Together, we are laying the foundation for a sustainable hydrogen economy!
