RFNBO Eligibility
Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin eligibility screening. RFNBOs (e-methanol, e-ammonia, green hydrogen) count DOUBLE in the FuelEU Maritime numerator during 2025–2033 if they meet RED II additionality criteria.
Formula, assumptions, limits
Electricity from a new renewable installation under direct PPA, OR grid-based with full hourly temporal matching AND bidding-zone match. Additionality demonstrated (new capacity, not subsidised under separate scheme). WtW GHG ≤ 28.2 gCO₂e/MJ (RED II 70 % reduction threshold vs fossil comparator 94.0). Producer has certified sustainability compliance.
FuelEU Maritime refers to these criteria via RED II Article 27; compliance unlocks the 2× multiplier in the compliance balance calculation for 2025–2033.
In short
Check if an e-fuel qualifies as RFNBO under RED II and unlocks the FuelEU Maritime 2× multiplier.
