In what cases is RFNBO-H₂ considered an intermediate product? 

Modified on Thu, 7 Aug at 3:52 PM

RFNBO-H₂ is considered an intermediate product if it is used for the production of conventional transport fuels or biofuels. For example, if renewable hydrogen is used in a refinery to remove impurities during hydro-treating, or if hydrogen is used for the production of HVO and methanol that is then used for the production of biodiesel, then RFNBO-H₂ would be considered an intermediate.

Important: Given that the hydrogen is already counted, such use of hydrogen is not further considered for the calculation of the share of renewable energy in the output of the process, i.e. the output fuel will not have any RFNBO share.

Fossil H₂ emission: When RFNBOs are used as intermediate products to produce biofuels counted toward the targets, they must be considered as fossil input (i.e. fossil hydrogen EF) in calculations of greenhouse gas emissions savings of the biofuels.
