The European Commission has reached a significant milestone by adopting a greenhouse gas emission methodology for low-carbon hydrogen and fuels, marking the completion of the EU's regulatory framework for hydrogen. This new methodology will complement existing frameworks for renewable hydrogen and renewable fuels of non-biological origin, enabling the decarbonization of sectors where electrification is currently not feasible, such as aviation, shipping, and certain industrial processes. To qualify as low carbon, hydrogen and related fuels must achieve a substantial 70% greenhouse gas emission savings compared to unabated fossil fuels, allowing for various production methods including using natural gas with carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), and low-carbon electricity sources. The European Commission plans to evaluate the impact of alternative energy pathways and initiate a public consultation on power purchase agreements for nuclear energy in 2026 to ensure a level playing field and emission savings. The recent Act will be transmitted to the European Parliament and Council for scrutiny, aiming to provide certainty for investors and drive growth in the hydrogen sector. Commissioner Dan Jørgensen highlighted the pivotal role of hydrogen in decarbonizing the economy, promoting competitiveness, and achieving climate objectives. Despite concerns from industry groups regarding the feasibility of the energy pathway, the positive sentiment surrounding the adoption of the Act signifies a significant step towards a low-carbon future.
