Europe stands at a decisive moment in its energy transition. As the European Union launches a new framework for hydrogen and gas market decarbonisation, legal, regulatory, and institutional innovation will shape the path toward a sustainable energy system.
This volume brings together the proceedings of the 2025 EFELA Conference, where leading experts, regulators, and academics explored the legal architecture underpinning the Hydrogen and Gas Markets Decarbonisation Package and its national implementation across Member States. Edited by Peter Cameron, Marinella De Focatiis, and Vicente López-Ibor Mayor, the collection offers comparative insights into the evolving hydrogen strategies of Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Hungary, and beyond. It examines how law can drive investment, innovation, and cooperation in one of the most transformative policy areas of our time.
A reference for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, this book captures the intellectual and practical debates shaping Europe’s decarbonised energy markets—where technology, law, and ambition converge to define the next generation of European energy governance.
