How Europe Can Meet Hydrogen Fuel Mandates Without Hydrogen Fuels
When I published my recent piece on Germany’s bid to double hydrogen-based fuel targets to try to justify already built and already stranded hydrogen infrastructure, readers raised important questions about compliance mechanics. One pointed out that the 1% RFNBO subtarget can be met by replacing grey hydrogen in refineries rather … [continued]

Germany’s Bid To Double Hydrogen Fuel Targets Ignores Operator Demand And Cost Signals
The German Bundesrat’s recent plea to Brussels to double green hydrogen-base fuel quotas is less a bid to accelerate decarbonization than a request to manufacture demand for an infrastructure program that never made economic sense and had weak demand signals from the start. The upper chamber’s proposal to increase mandated … [continued]

Spain & Denmark Leading the Way on Green Shipping Fuels — Study
A lack of regulatory certainty is preventing most projects from moving beyond just the planning stage. Spain, Denmark, Norway and France are leading when it comes to producing green e-fuels that can be used for shipping, a new T&E analysis shows. But a lack of regulatory certainty is preventing most projects … [continued]

Shipping e-fuels Production in Europe: State of Play in 2025
Europe’s e-fuels development for shipping remains in a fragile state of development. The 2025 update of T&E’s shipping e-fuels observatory looked at 80 green hydrogen and e-fuels projects representing a total of up to 3.06 million tonnes of oil equivalent by 2032. But of the projects that have been earmarked for shipping, just … [continued]

The Sustainable Carbon Challenge for E-fuels
Why we still need carbon, how much is sustainable, and how should we move it around? Why do we still need to capture carbon for the future green transport system? To achieve its net-zero target by 2050, Europe must decarbonise all of its transport sector. While direct electrification is rapidly … [continued]
