The European Commission has initiated a 4-week consultation period seeking feedback on a draft methodology for assessing the emission savings of low-carbon hydrogen and fuels. This initiative is in line with the revised EU hydrogen and gas market legislation aimed at promoting low-carbon energy sources. The draft delegated act complements existing rules for renewable hydrogen and renewable fuels of non-biological origin, ensuring consistency in evaluating greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle of these fuels. The feedback gathered will be crucial in shaping the final text, which will subsequently undergo scrutiny by the European Parliament and Council of Ministers. Low-carbon fuels play a vital role in the transition to cleaner energy, offering reduced emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels and facilitating the adoption of renewable alternatives. The certification framework mandated by the Hydrogen and Gas Market Directive underscores the importance of evaluating emission savings for low-carbon fuels. This framework aligns with established methodologies for renewable fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels, emphasizing factors like carbon capture rates and methane leakage. The EU's hydrogen and gas decarbonisation package, comprising Directive (EU) 2024/1788 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1789, was recently enacted to regulate renewable gas, natural gas, and hydrogen markets. The European Commission has been tasked with defining low-carbon hydrogen through a Delegated Regulation within 12 months of the package's enforcement, with national transposition deadlines set for August 2026. The objective is to accelerate the implementation of rules governing low-carbon fuels, aligning with the EU's commitment to sustainable energy practices.
