Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) for transport - Exploration of options to fulfil the obligation in the Netherlands
report
The European Commission has proposed a revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (COM(2021) 557 final), hereinafter referred to as REDIII, as part of the “Fit for 55” package. This proposal revised many provisions of the Renewable Energy Directive (REDII), which was adopted in 2018. One of the key changes relates to Article 25 Mainstreaming renewable energy in transport sector. This article was amended to set a new 13% greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity reduction target; increase the sub-target for advanced biofuels; and introduce a new sub-target for renewable fuels from non-biological origin (RFNBO). By 2030, 2.6% of the energy supplied to the transport sector, covering all transport activities, should be met by RFNBO. In addition, the Commission has also proposed to boost the uptake of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in air transport through the draft ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation (COM(2021) 561 final). A sub-target of 0.7% in 2030 was introduced for synthetic fuels (e-jet fuel) for the aviation sector. The FuelEU Maritime proposal regulation (COM(2021) 562 final) introduced increasing limits on the carbon-intensity of the energy used by vessels from 2025.
