CONDITIONS FOR COUNTING ELECTRICITY FOR RFNBO PRODUCTION AS FULLY RENEWABLE

Option I:   Direct connection

Option II: Grid connection

Option Ila: Electricity grid with high share of RES-e

Option llb: Electricity grid with low COremissions

Option lie: Using imbalance settlement periods

Option lld: All other grip options

Open issues for hydrogen and RFNBO production in non-EU countries

Reference to day-ahead electricity price

Definition of 'bidding zone'

Definition of 'imbalance settlement period'

RULES FOR GHG ACCOUNTING OF RFNBOs

Overall methodology for GHG accounting

Emissions from inputs Emissions from inputs are split into three parts:

Emissions from processing

Emissions from transport and distribution

Emissions from utilisation

Emission reduction from carbon capture and storage

Time intervals

Rules for co-processing
