Using renewable electricity in transport to meet RED targets : creating a credit mechanism at national level. — Brussels : Transport & Environment, 2019
8 p.
Sumario: The recast of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) can be the start of a shift in EU policy after 2021, away from food-based biofuels towards cleaner and more advanced fuels, including renewable electricity. A surge in EV sales as well as a growing share of renewables such as wind and solar in the electricity mix offers a window of opportunity for such a shift. Electricity produced from renewables used in transport is the cleanest alternative to oil. So far, a majority of EU countries has not incentivized the use of electricity in the same way they do with biofuels. Through the implementation of the new RED for the period 2021 to 2030, Member States have the opportunity to include renewable electricity in their compliance mechanism to reach a target for renewable advanced fuels
