EU issues low-carbon hydrogen fuel standards
On July 8, the European Commission adopted a delegated act establishing a flexible and pragmatic methodology to define low-carbon hydrogen.
According to the Commission, to be considered low carbon, hydrogen and related fuels will need to reach a threshold of 70% greenhouse gas emission savings compared to the use of unabated fossil fuels. This means that low-carbon hydrogen can be produced in various ways, for instance using natural gas with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) – a technology that prevents emissions from the process of producing hydrogen-, as well as from low-carbon electricity sources.
Carbon storage is a
