Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 12 – point a – point ii Directive 2003/87/EC
Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 12 – point a – point ii Directive 2003/87/EC
In order to provide further incentives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency, the determined Union-wide ex-ante benchmarks shall be reviewed before the period from 2026 to 2030 in view of potentially modifying the definitions and system boundaries of existing product benchmarks. The benchmark values resulting from that review shall be published as soon as the necessary information becomes available, in order for the updates to apply as of 2026. The revision of the product benchmarks should lead to the creation of a specific benchmark for alumina used for the production of aluminium.

Annex I – Paragraph 1 - row 24
Production of hydrogen (H2) and/or synthesis gas with a production capacity exceeding 2510 tonnes per day. The extension of the EU ETS to renewable and low carbon hydrogen production facilities, goes in the right direction and could provide a positive boost to the uptake of the electrolysis route. Nevertheless, in the current proposal, the effects are expected to be rather limited because the production threshold at 25 ton of hydrogen a day – corresponding to an electrolyser between 60-100MW depending on the efficiency - will exclude many electrolyser units.Justification
