Renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) are needed to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors that rely on liquid or gaseous fuels, such as long-haul shipping. The EU's Delegated Act on RFNBOs defines renewable hydrogen by considering rules on additionality as well as temporal and geographical correlation of the electricity used. For a Danish case study, we examine the impact on the capacity expansion problem of an energy hub producing renewable hydrogen, e-methanol, and e-ammonia using a mixed-integer linear problem formulation. We analyze the investments in production capacity, storage assets, and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) volume under different fuel price assumptions for 2030. We find that e-methanol (combined with limited storage to secure hydrogen supply to the synthesizer) provides the best business case with a PPA volume based on the maximum allowed electrolyzer size., Comment: Accepted version
