Implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive into national law
In this current position paper, the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) advocates an ambitious approach to implementing the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) into national law so that renewable fuels can also make their decisive contribution to climate protection. Unlike the CO2 fleet regulation, which sets consistent savings targets for new vehicles, the requirements in RED III for ramping up renewable fuels have so far been too unambitious. The demands include a long-term target path and an upwardly dynamic GHG quota. This means that if the GHG quota is exceeded, it automatically increases through a defined mechanism in order to maintain investment incentives in renewable energy sources.
