Germany is set to increase its mandates for green hydrogen in road transport beyond original plans following lobbying efforts from the sector.

The country’s GHG-Quota law has been under parliamentary reviews for several weeks and could now be approved by 7 May.

The law will implement targets for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) consumption in road mobility, under the EU-set Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III).

Under the Berlin-approved version , from 2026, RFNBOs like green hydrogen and e-fuels would need to make up 0.1% of transport energy, growing to 1.2% in 2030, and 8% in 2040.
