On May 20th the European Commission published two delegated acts which are essential to complete the definition of RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) and hence to determine the role renewable hydrogen will play in EU decarbonization. In concrete:

• Delegated act on the methodology setting out the rules for the production of RFNBOs.
• Delegated act on the methodology to assess the GHG emissions of RFNBOs and recycled carbon fuels.

The deadline to provide feedback to the proposals was opened until June 17th .

We therefore gathered a small group of experts to discuss the proposals from different angles and perspectives. We also assessed whether the delegated acts are coherent with the proposed regulatory framework in the Fit for 55 proposals and the Repower EU plan.

The meeting started with a presentation by ERCST where we presented our views on the topic and was followed by the contribution of three icebreakers and a substantive discussion with attendees.
