Latin America is set to become a renewable hydrogen powerhouse and several projects underway in the region aimed at producing e-methanol and e-fuels (SAF, e-diesel and e-gasoline) from renewable hydrogen and CO2, for export to The Netherlands and other EU countries.

Such exports will need to meet the criteria set out by the EU in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II & III) and associated Delegated Regulations in order to count towards the targets set by the EU concerning the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) in the EU’s industry and transport sectors.

As part of its hydrogen collaboration agenda with Chile and Uruguay, The Netherlands Government has commissioned a study on the ways and options for RNFBO project developers in Chile and Uruguay to comply with the EU RED requirements and other relevant sustainability requirements, in particular those applied by H2Global. The study can be found here.

During this webinar, we will present the main findings of the study to RNFBO project developers as well as public entities supporting or promoting RNFBO production and exports.

After this webinar, you will have a better understanding of the EU’s regulatory framework and compliance market for RFNBOs, as well as minimum requirements that your projects and products must meet in order to access the Dutch and EU market.

Topics covered by the workshop:

• EU regulations on electricity renewability and CO2 sources and local compliance.
• Monitoring, verification, and certification processes.
• H2Global's additional sustainability requirements.
• Recommendations for compliance with RFNBO requirements in Chile and Uruguay.

 

While the workshop focuses on the specific cases of Chile and Uruguay, it is also open to stakeholders from other Latin American countries interested in producing RNFBO for the EU market.
