Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO)

Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBOs) are fuels made using renewable electricity instead of fossil fuels or biological materials like crops or waste. They are often created by using renewable power to produce hydrogen, which can then be turned into fuels such as e-methanol or synthetic aviation fuel. RFNBOs are seen as a way to reduce emissions in industries that are difficult to electrify, including aviation, shipping, and heavy manufacturing. In the European Union, these fuels must meet rules on renewable energy sourcing and greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
