The European Commission launched a 4-week call for feedback on the draft delegated act which clarifies the methodology for evaluating the emission savings of low-carbon hydrogen and fuels. This secondary legislation is required under the revised EU hydrogen and gas market legislation that entered into force over the summer. The draft text complements the rules already in place for renewable hydrogen and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) and is consistent with their methodology for a life cycle assessment of the total greenhouse gas emissions of these fuels.
The feedback from this consultation will feed into the Commission’s deliberations on the final text. Upon finalisation, the text of the delegated act will be passed to the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers for a 2-month period. If the Parliament and the Council do not object during this time, the delegated act is formally published in the Official Journal and enters into force.
