The European Commission is rolling back environmental regulations across hydrogen, forestry, and battery removability—narrowing EUDR product scope, relaxing green hydrogen production criteria after 2025 deployment failures, and exempting wearables and toys from removable battery rules. Germany's building law now allows heating system choice with carbon-neutral fuel requirements phased in from 2028.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy and Energy Storage.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're selling into Europe—batteries, hydrogen tech, forest-risk supply chains, or heating systems—the rules just moved. Compliance windows are lengthening and exemptions widening; what was locked out six months ago is now negotiable again.
