We, the undersigned organisations, welcome the European Commission’s continued commitment to science- and evidence-based policymaking, reiterated in the recent statements from President von Der Leyen and Commissioner Hoekstra, and which we see as a cornerstone of credible and effective policy frameworks.

In this context, Bellona Europa has co-signed a joint letter that raises concerns about several technical provisions in the latest draft of the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Delegated Act,  in particular those relating to methane emissions accounting. The signatories warn that this pathway risks undermining the EU’s 2030 and 2050 climate targets. Instead of accelerating the energy transition, it could lock Europe into continued fossil fuel dependence.
