Eversheds Sutherlans Bitāns team assessed EU legislation and national regulatory frameworks across eight Baltic Sea Region countries, focusing on four key areas.
This overview explores the evolving legal framework for green hydrogen aviation, examining EU regulation and national approaches across the Baltic Sea Region. It highlights key legal considerations for hydrogen production, storage, transportation and refuelling, together with specific insights into Latvia’s regulatory framework.

Our research confirmed that existing legal frameworks provide a basis for the deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure at airports. Successful implementation requires compliance with applicable permitting, safety and technical requirements.
