An additional 100 companies have signed the industry letter urging the European Commission to keep the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) transport and industry targets and mandates for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) hydrogen beyond 2030, bringing the total to 260 signatories.
First sent on September 24, the message in the letter is the same, the backing is broader. The letter stresses removing RFNBO targets would not simplify anything. It would waste six years of work, shake the market, punish first movers, and undermine confidence in EU climate and energy policy.
The targets are already delivering. More than €15 billion has been committed to hydrogen end-use applications in Europe, and over 4 GW of electrolysis is under construction.
Thank you to all signatories for their support. The European hydrogen sector is ready to invest. It needs a framework that global capital can trust.
