The screening checks a hydrogen project against the criteria for renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) in the RED III delegated acts: the electricity supply route, additionality, temporal and geographic correlation, the exemptions for highly renewable or low-carbon grids, avoided curtailment, greenhouse-gas savings and the chain of custody.
Each rule returns its outcome with the article it comes from, cited to EUR-Lex. It is an indicative screening to prepare the analysis, not legal advice.
Monthly correlation applies until the end of 2029 and hourly correlation from 1 January 2030. A Member State may require hourly correlation earlier, from July 2027.
That the renewable plant came into operation no more than 36 months before the electrolyser and received no operating or investment support. Grids above a 90% renewable share or with low emissions have their own pathways, which the screening also checks.
Yes, in the pilot programme: the assessment is saved, can be reopened and is printed in the compliance chapter of the report.
