The Building Modernisation Act has been adopted. The bio ladder and green gas quota create new perspectives for biomethane and hydrogen. At the same time, requirements for sustainability, mass balancing and proof management are being clarified.
The Federal Ministry for the Environment has submitted a draft bill to amend the Fuel Emissions Trading Act. The CO₂ price corridor of 55 to 65 euros per tonne is therefore expected to apply in 2027 as well—extending the transition period to ETS 2.
The first nEHS auction 2026 marks the transition from a fixed price to a price corridor. What the results mean for companies and for the move to the EU ETS 2.
In our webinar as part of Hydrogen Week 2026, RFNBO certification, the GHG quota and the practical implementation of hydrogen marketing took centre stage. Three insights were particularly relevant to project economics.
16 German federal states are calling for a pragmatic review of the RFNBO criteria to strengthen investment certainty and accelerate the ramp-up of the European hydrogen economy.
FuelCert has established clarity with the main customs office that RFNBO hydrogen in rail transport is eligible for the GHG quota – an important step for hydrogen projects in the transport sector.
FuelCert supported WUN H2 GmbH and Riessner-Gase GmbH throughout the RFNBO certification process. This means that both production and the marketing and distribution of the renewable hydrogen are certified under CertifHy.
