Hydrogen Europe is calling on Brussels to allow additional funding for green hydrogen projects that take final investment decision before 2028 to provide protection from changing rules.
It comes after the European Commission confirmed its renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) rules by Q2 2026, following pressure from industry to relax criteria around electricity sourcing for electrolysers.
In a new position paper, the lobby group said grandfathering clauses should be added to the bloc’s low-carbon fuels rules and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) criteria, warning that without them, developments could be delayed or scrapped.
For low-carbon rules, which cover electrolysers using grid electricity, methane pyrolysis, and blue hydrogen, it said the clause should last for 20 years from when a project takes final investment decision (FID).
