Methodology for assessing greenhouse gas emissions savings from low-carbon fuels

/in ,

Cerulogy worked with ‘Future Cleantech Architects’ to produce a report for the European Parliament’s ITRE committee on the European Commission’s proposal for an LCA methodology for ‘low carbon fuels’ – in the regulatory parlance this category excludes renewable fuels, and primarily consists of blue hydrogen and electrolytic hydrogen produced with [partly] non-renewable energy (and synthetic hydrocarbon fuels derived from that hydrogen). The report discusses the methodology proposal, reviews default values included for natural gas supply, and discusses potential costs for low carbon hydrogen.

Review paper on permanent carbon removals

/in ,

Cerulogy is working for the European Commission Directorate General for Climate Action in partnership with ICF and Fraunhofer ISI on the development of EU certification methodologies for permanent carbon removals. The first document published from this ongoing project is a review of existing certification methodologies for carbon dioxide reductions and removals and of relevant EU legislation. You can download the report from the website of the EU Expert Group on Carbon Removals.

Review papers

The review paper was discussed at a meeting of the Expert Group on Carbon Removals in October 2023. Below is a link to the recording of the first day of the meeting, where Dr Malins presented the review paper and chaired discussions on carbon removals with DACCS and BECCS.
