10:50–12:00 |
Clear and simple rules and regulatory certainty are essential to unlock large-scale hydrogen deployment. Yet many stakeholders argue that regulation sometimes slows innovation and raises costs. This session will debate whether Europe’s evolving framework acts as a driver or a barrier for investments — and what adjustments are needed to strike the right balance.

Presenting a comprehensive analytical framework for nuclear hydrogen production in the Czech Republic, this work evaluates its economic viability within the context of the European Union's "Fit for 55" legislative package as of 2026. Utilizing a multidisciplinary methodology – encompassing LCOH modelling, LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of carbon footprints, and a comparative analysis of certification schemes (RFNBO vs. LCH) – the research identifies nuclear energy as a critical baseload energy source essential for meeting the decarbonization quotas of the Czech industrial sector.
