France has initiated a consultation on a proposed 1.5% renewable hydrogen quota for the transport sector by 2030 as part of its efforts to tackle emissions. The new mechanism, known as IRICC, is designed to replace the existing system and set specific quotas for greenhouse gas emissions reductions that fuel suppliers must meet from 2026 to 2035. These regulations, aligned with the EU's renewable energy directive, include sub-quotas for renewable fuels like hydrogen. The proposal exceeds the EU's minimum requirements and aims to drive the use of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen in transportation. France's targets for renewable hydrogen in transport are more ambitious than some EU counterparts, with penalties in place to ensure compliance. Synthetic fuels in aviation and maritime sectors also have specific targets, potentially leveraging France's nuclear power for aviation fuel production. The proposal foresees penalties for non-compliance, including fines related to falling short of renewable hydrogen quotas and larger GHG emissions targets. The penalties are designed to encourage fuel suppliers to meet their obligations and drive the transition towards cleaner transport fuels.
