Representing the entire energy value chain, from producers to industrial users, clean tech solution providers, and infrastructure operators, the co-signatories call on the European Commission to acknowledge their serious concerns with the current draft Delegated Act defining the GHG methodology for low carbon hydrogen and its derivatives, and to work with industry representatives on amendments.
The new version of this essential secondary legislation would make it overly difficult – if not practically impossible – to produce low carbon hydrogen and fuels, be it in the EU or at global level and imported to the EU.
We urge the European Commission to amend the revised draft to ensure it enables the production and import of all types of low carbon hydrogen and fuels and recognises better environmental performances. This is critical for supporting the scale up of the hydrogen market in Europe, which already faces major challenges that undermine EU’s ability to meet its climate objectives.
