Belgium’s BE.Hydrogen programme generates critical technical performance data as operators navigate renewable fuel of non-biological origin certification under RED III’s strict additionality and temporal correlation rules.
White hydrogen projects face regulatory limbo as ReFuelEU Aviation and RED III focus on electrolytic and RFNBO pathways, leaving geological H₂ without clear certification routes.
Despite a quiet news cycle for sustainable aviation fuel this period, the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation’s 2% SAF blending obligation for 2025 and escalating mandates through 2050 remain legally binding for all EU airport fuel suppliers.
As the IMO and EU push zero-emission shipping fuels, captured CO₂ becomes feedstock—but regulatory frameworks for bio- and e-methanol certification remain fragmented.
