The German Federal Ministry forEconomic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) provides funding of EUR 900 million for this initiative, with further funding already earmarked for 2023.

The production of the hydrogenderivatives must take place outside the EU and EFTA states. The price will beset in a competitive international bidding process. The period of the long-termpurchase agreements is 10 years. The first deliveries of these sustainablehydrogen derivatives to Europe are planned for the end of 2024 or early 2025.This is the first global tender procedure of its kind.
