High time for the European Commission to decide on RFNBO delegated act to enable informed debate and vote in the European Parliament and Council

A coalition of environmental and industry organisations calls on the European Commission to finalise the RFNBO delegated act, arguing that regulatory certainty is essential for the renewable hydrogen industry and that strict additionality and correlation rules are necessary to ensure genuine decarbonisation.

• The authors oppose a recent European Parliament amendment that would eliminate the legal basis for the RFNBO delegated act, arguing that this move creates uncertainty for domestic renewable hydrogen production and future imports.
• The coalition argues that the European Commission should adopt the delegated act immediately, noting that the December 2021 legal deadline for adoption has already passed.
• The authors maintain that strict rules on additionality, hourly temporal correlation, and bidding zone geographical correlation are necessary to ensure renewable hydrogen effectively reduces emissions without increasing gas demand or electricity prices.
