PVTIME – The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy has published its annual review, which covers climate progress and the performance of the carbon market in 2026. The report notes a steady increase in the proportion of renewable electricity in the European Union, alongside a year-on-year decline in overall emissions.
The document sets out a formal schedule for the rollout of rules governing renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO), including green hydrogen. This regulatory timetable will directly impact the commercial viability of green hydrogen projects under development in Europe.
The publication provides a comprehensive annual evaluation of the EU’s energy and climate trajectory. It provides regulated parties and market participants with up-to-date information on the progress of the energy transition, while clarifying the timeline for compliance with the new RFNBO requirements.
