THE Lays the Foundations for Future Hydrogen Market Development

By publishing key process and interface documents for the first time, Trading Hub Europe (THE) is laying an important foundation for the development of the future hydrogen market. In addition to robust infrastructure, this market requires clear, reliable processes that all market participants can use on a non-discriminatory basis.

Over the past few months, several working groups coordinated by THE have developed essential foundations for market processes in the future hydrogen market area. The Balancing Group Management Guide (BKM) and the Process Manual reflect the current status of this work, enabling market participants to familiarise themselves with the planned procedures at an early stage and make the necessary preparations.

The guideline for digital interfaces in the future hydrogen market area provides market participants and technical service providers with a basis for implementing the required interfaces.

By simultaneously making the technical specifications available on GitHub, THE is providing centralised, transparent access to the relevant information. In addition to the API guideline, supplementary documents covering JWS signatures, WebSocket and the directory service are published there.
