According to the new legislative changes in the field of renewable energy in Romania, an important event in this regard is the promulgation of the law on the integration of hydrogen from renewable and low carbon sources in the sectors of industry and transport in Romania.
The purpose of the changes is to integrate hydrogen from renewable and low-carbon sources into the activity of fuel suppliers and consumers in Romania, so that both consumers and fuel suppliers in Romania have a number of obligations to fulfill. Given the complexity of the legislation in force, The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends contacting a lawyer specialized in commercial law, renewable energy and hydrogen and consumer rights in Romania to provide you legal advice on new updates to legislation in force, both from the perspective of consumers and fuel suppliers in Romania.
Given that this is a complex project, it has been proposed to gradually move from current to future practices, thus, from 2024 until 2030, fuel suppliers in Romania have the obligation to ensure that fuel comes from non-biological renewable sources by hydrogen suppliers in Romania. At the same time, in 2024, fuel suppliers in Romania have to implement a gradual increase in the percentage of fuel from non-biological renewable sources and electricity from renewable sources in Romania and that is why a lawyer specialized in commercial law, renewable energy and hydrogen and consumer rights in Romania can guide you in the process of integrating hydrogen from renewable sources in the field of industry and transport to comply with the new regulations.
The consumers in Romania are required to increase the percentage of fuel from non-biological renewable sources and low-carbon hydrogen and thus by 2030, this percentage being at least 50%, and by 2035 at least 75%. At the same time, industrial fuel consumers in Romania must send to the Ministry of Energy a report containing information on the fuel used, reason why The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates can provide legal assistance in drafting the necessary documents with help of lawyers specialized in commercial law, renewable energy and hydrogen and consumer rights in Romania.
In other words, fuel suppliers in Romania have to provide fuels from non-biological renewable sources from hydrogen suppliers and also to ensure that the energy value from the amount of fuel from non-biological renewable sources supplied on the market in Romania and used in transport complies with the values imposed by the new regulations in the industry and transport segment, so they are advised to seek legal assistance and representation of lawyers specializing in commercial, renewable energy and hydrogen law and consumer rights in Romania, becasue non-compliance with quality provisions and the conditions imposed by law may attract sanctions.
