Yes.

The Deputy asked about green hydrogen. At the moment, the European file on FuelEU Maritime is technologically neutral. The purpose of that is to offer potential for and allow industry to navigate the most consistent path to reaching its greenhouse gas emissions target. For example, there are opportunities potentially around ammonia, methanol, various biofuels and blends of e-fuels. It is really about offering potential across all the areas. Green hydrogen is one of the opportunities but the file at the moment is really about trying to trigger that ambition across all the different opportunities. The technology and the fleet a particular industry player has will impact its ability to change to one of the particular fuels.

On the wider targets, the reduction for shipping in the EU file is 2% in 2025 , 6% in 2023 and up to 80% by 2050. The greenhouse gas targets are quite back-ended.
