The European Commission has given the green light to three voluntary schemes—CertifHy, ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification, and REDcert GmbH—to certify renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO).   #RFNBOs are crucial for meeting the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive goals, aiming for: 🚗 1% of final energy consumption in transportation (RED III Transport) 🏭 42% of hydrogen used in industry (RED III Industry) by 2030   📜 As fuel producers, suppliers, and end-users push for a transparent and verifiable framework, RFNBO certification will cover the entire fuel supply chain ("well-to-wheel"), ensuring utmost transparency and traceability.   ✅ Once officially recognized by the EU Commission, these schemes will enable renewable hydrogen and e-fuels producers to verify their products as RFNBO-compliant.   #EU #certification #RenewableHydrogen #eFuels #VoluntarySchemes

Namibia aims to be at the forefront of green hydrogen and derivatives production by utilizing its excellent renewable conditions and international relations with potential green hydrogen importers 🛢With a large availability of land and some of the best renewable potential globally, Namibia has set ambitious green hydrogen targets:   🎯By 2030: 1-2 Mtpa H2 equivalent  🎯By 2040: 5-7 Mtpa H2 equivalent  🎯By 2050: 10-15 Mtpa H2 equivalent To achieve these targets, Namibia has started various initiatives, such as  📍Awarding land and common user infrastructure (CUI) for green hydrogen projects  🏭Prioritization of local industries involving solar panels, electrolysers, wind turbine manufacturing, etc.   💰Tax incentives and streamlined permitting process (under development) 🏗 Namibia has planned to develop three hydrogen valleys with ports and common infrastructure for transmission lines and hydrogen and water pipelines to form a green fuel ecosystem 🌐Namibia has also been active in developing relations with potential green hydrogen demand centres such as Japan, Germany, Netherlands, etc., in a bid to fast-track the country's growing hydrogen economy  #greenhydrogen #cleanhydrogen #greenammonia #Namibia #Japan #Germany #Netherlands #netzero #energytransition #decarbonisation

The European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB) Investment Bank recently released a report on "Financing sustainable liquid fuel projects in #Europe." An interesting paper which, notably, provides insights on the barriers shadowing the growth of sustainable fuels growth in the #EU: ✈️🚢Aviation and maritime sectors seem to have a higher future demand than road transport due to various EU initiatives such as ReFuelEU Aviation and ReFuelEU Maritime, promoting the increased usage of sustainable fuels 💰The report consulted 34 companies working in the sustainable fuel market, giving a fair assessment of how the market looks, showing the increase in aviation and maritime offtake and developers preferring large-scale projects to achieve economies of scale 📈A mix of market barriers, such as uncertain regulations and lack of market, along with technological barriers like technology risk and "green premium", is hindering the project's ability to access finance for large-scale sustainable liquid fuel deployment #efuels #decarbonisation #aviation #maritime #netzero #europeancommission #europeaninvestmentbank
