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

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.
