Germany passes bill with raised green hydrogen transport mandates
In the UK, Gas World reported that Germany’s GHG reduction quota passed parliamentary review on April 23 and will implement new targets for the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) in road mobility under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III (REDIII).
The passed bill increased 2040 requirements for RFNBO’s like green hydrogen and e-fuels in the sector to 10%, two per cent higher than the original draft approved by the federal cabinet, according to the report.
It also adds $140 per gigajoule levy on fuel suppliers failing to meet the commitments, it added.
The mandates are viewed by the hydrogen sector as a key demand driver for the molecule, which has so far faced a delayed rollout.
In a statement, the Bundestag said the resolution’s adoption will result in carbon dioxide savings, strengthen domestic value creation, create jobs in the hydrogen sector, and reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
