The hydrogen core network operators jointly participate in a special purpose entity, H2 Amortisationskonto GmbH. This company manages the amortisation account. KfW finances the amortisation account with a credit line of 24 billion euros. The funds are used to finance the initial equalisation payments to the hydrogen core network operators.
KfW transfers the payments to the amortisation account so that H2 Amortisationskonto GmbH, which manages the account, can forward the funds to the hydrogen core network operators.
KfW made the first payment to the account on 24 March 2025, with the total amount amounting to around 172 million euros.
