(1) The European Green Deal5 establishes the objective of the Union becoming climate neutral in 2050 at the latest in a manner that contributes to the European economysustainable economic, environmental and social development, gprowthsperity and job creation in the EU. That objective, and the objective of at least 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 as set out in the 2030European Climate Target Plan6Law [Regulation (EU) 2021/1119] that was endorsed both by the European Parliament7 and by the European Council8 , requires an energy transition centered on reducing energy and resource consumption and increased efficiency and significantly higher shares of renewable energy sources in an integrated energy system. __________________ 5 Communication from the Commission COM(2019) 640 final of 11.12.2019, The European Green Deal. 6 Communication from the Commission COM(2020) 562 final of 17.9.2020, Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition Investing in a climate-neutral future for the benefit of our people 7 European Parliament resolution of 15 January 2020 on the European Green Deal (2019/2956(RSP)) 8 European Council conclusions of 11 December 2020, https://www.consilium.europa.eu/media/47 296/1011-12-20-euco-conclusions-en.pdf

(2) Renewable energy plays a fundamental role in delivering the European Green Deal and forachieving the objectives of the 8th European Action Programme (8th EAP), which both entail achieving climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, given that the energy sector contributes over 75% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the Union. By reducing those greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy can also contributes to tackling environmental-related challenges such as biodiversity loss, land, water and air pollution as long as the renewable energy sources themselves do not exacerbate these challenges. Strict sustainability criteria and, where necessary, the exclusion of certain feedstock for the purposes of counting toward the targets under this Directive, as well as being eligible for support, are necessary to fulfil this condition.

(3) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council9 sets a binding Union target to reach a share of at least 32 % of energy from renewable sources in the Union's gross final consumption of energy by 2030. Under the Climate Target PlanTo achieve the objective of the European Green Deal and the 8th EAP and to make the legislation fit for 1.5°C, the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption would need to increase to 40%at least 56 % and at least 45% energy efficiency by 2030 in order to achieve the Union’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction target10 . Therefore, the target set out in Article 3 of that Directive needs to be increased. and accompanied by national binding targets, which are proven effective in providing certainty for investors and in encouraging continuous renewable technologies development. __________________ 9 Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82–209 10 Point 3 of the Communication from the Commission COM(2020) 562 final of 17.9.2020, Stepping up Europe’s 2030 climate ambition Investing in a climate- neutral future for the benefit of our people

(3a) Continuous scientific evidence shows that energy savings, energy efficiency and renewable energy represent key drivers for reaching a net-zero GHG emission economy. In line with the Commission recommendation of 28 September 2021 entitled "On Energy Efficiency First: from principles to practice. Guidelines and examples for its implementation in decision-making in the energy sector and beyond", this Directive should take an integrated approach by promoting the most energy efficient renewable source for any given sector and application as well as by promoting system efficiency, so that the least energy would be required for various economic activities.

(5) The rapid growth and increasing cost-competitiveness of renewable electricity production can be used to satisfy a growing share ofhas the potential to cover most of the energy demand, for instance using heat pumps for space heating or low- and medium temperature industrial processes, electric vehicles for transport, or electric furnaces in certain industrieal applications. Renewable electricity can also be used to produce synthetic fuels, which should be reserved for consumption in hard-to-decarbonise transport sectors abate sectors and applications, such as aviation and maritime transport. A framework for electrification needs to enable robust and efficient coordination and expand market mechanisms to match both supply and demand in space and time, stimulate investments in flexibility, and help and additional renewable capacities, and help to maximise the efficient integrateion of large shares of variable renewable generation. Member States should therefore ensure that the deployment of renewable electricity continues to increase at an adequate pace to meet growing demandnd matches the growing demand for electricity, while ensuring that demand flexibly adapts to the renewable energy generation. For this, Member States should establish a framework that includes market- compatible mechanisms to tackle remaining barriers to have secure and adequate electricity systems fit for a high level of flexible renewable energy, as well as storage facilities, demand response and other flexibility mechanism, fully integrated into the electricity system. In particular, this framework shall tackle remaining barriers, including non-financial ones such as insufficient digital and human resources of authorities to process a growing number of permitting applications. When designing the framework, Member States shall promote electrification and the most energy- and resource- efficient sustainable renewable energy generation technologies in each sector in application of the 'energy efficiency first principle’. In order to guarantee a harmonised approach across the EU, the EC shall develop a framework on additionality and shall develop a methodology with a view to determining the baseline of Member States and measuring additionality.

(6) When calculating the share of renewables in a Member State, renewable fuels of non-biological origin should be counted in the sector where they are consumed (electricity, heating and cooling, or transport), unless agreed otherwise amongst producing and consuming Member States. Where renewable fuels of non-biological origin are consumed in a Member State different from the one where they have been produced, unless agreed otherwise between Member States concerned, energy generated by the combustion of RFNBOs shall be accounted for 80% of their volume in the country and sector where it is consumed and for 20% of their volume in the country where it produced. The Commission shall be notified of any such agreement and make available information on the concluded agreement, including the exact volumes of the supply and demand, the times of the transfer and the date by which the arrangement will become operational. To avoid double- counting, the renewable electricity used to produce these fuels should not be counted. This would result in a harmonisation of the accounting rules for these fuels throughout the Directive, regardless of whether they are counted for the overall renewable energy target or for any sub-target. It would also allow to count the real energy consumed, taking account of energy losses in the process to produce those fuels. Moreover, it would allow for the accounting of renewable fuels of non- biological origin imported into and consumed in the Union.

(7) Member States’ cooperation to promote renewable energy can take the form of statistical transfers, support schemes or joint projects. It allows for a cost-efficient deployment of renewable energy across Europe and contributes to market integration. Despite its potential, cooperation has been very limited, thus leading to suboptimal results in terms of efficiency in increasing renewable energy and exploiting additional benefits from economies of scale. Member States should therefore be obliged to test cooperation through implementing a pilot project by December 2025 and by 2030 at least three joint projects. Projects financed by national contributions under the Union renewable energy financing mechanism established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/129414 would meet this obligation for the Member States involved. __________________ 14 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1294 of 15 September 2020 on the Union renewable energy financing mechanism (OJ L 303, 17.9.2020, p. 1).

(8) The Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy introduces an ambitious objective of 300 GW of offshore wind and 40 GW of ocean energy across all the Union’s sea basins by 2050. To ensure this step change, Member States will need to work together across borders at sea-basin level. Member States should therefore jointly define and allocate adequate space in their maritime spatial plan for the amount of offshore renewable generation and related infrastructure to be deployed within each sea basin by 2050, with intermediate steps in 2030 and 204030, 2040 and 2050. Where the cumulated objective does not amount to at least 79 GW and 340 GW of installed capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively, or where intermediate steps are not in line with the 2030 and 2050 objectives, the Commission shall take additional measures to facilitate the roll-out of offshore renewable energy. These objectives should be reflected in the updated national energy and climate plans that will be submitted in 2023 and 2024 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In defining the amount, Member States should take into account the offshore renewable energy potential of each sea basin, environmental and biodiversity protection, climate adaptation and other uses of the sea, as well as the Union’s decarbonisation targetsGHG emission reduction targets. Accordingly, when installing new wind parks Member States should avoid placing them in the routes of migratory birds and apply best practices to reduce bird fatalities, such as by increasing rotor blade visibility through visual cues by applying contrast painting to single blades, as well by requiring the installation of automated curtailment system whereby turbines are slowed or stopped when wildlife are considered at increased risk of collision. In order to enhance broad public acceptance, Member States shall ensure the possibility of including renewable energy communities in joint cooperation projects on offshore renewable energy. In addition, Member States should increasingly consider the possibility of combining offshore renewable energy generation with transmission lines interconnecting several Member States, in the form of hybrid projects or, at a later stage, a more meshed grid. This would allow electricity to flow in different directions, thus maximising socio- economic welfare, optimising infrastructure expenditure and enabling a more sustainable usage of the sea. In order to ensure the sustainable management of maritime space and coasts and unlock the potential of offshore renewables, Member States should make use of Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). At least two years after entry into force of this Directive, Member States should ensure the update of their Maritime Spatial Plans pursuant to Directive (EU) 2014/89 in aligned with this Directive.

(9) The market for renewable power purchase agreements is rapidly growing and provides a complementary route to the market of renewable power generation in addition to support schemes by Member States or to selling directly on the wholesale electricity market. At the same time, the market for renewable power purchase agreements is still limited to a small number of Member States and large companies, with significant administrative, technical and financial barriers remaining in large parts of the Union’s market. The existing measures in Article 15 to encourage the uptake of renewable power purchase agreements should therefore be strengthened further,Besides renewable power purchase agreements, Member States and the Commission shall assess barriers to the roll-out of renewable heating and cooling purchase agreements, which will play an increasing role in reaching the EU's climate and renewables targets. The existing measures in Article 15 to encourage the uptake of renewable power purchase agreements should therefore be strengthened further, by taking account of the variety and special needs of potential uptakers, such as for smaller actors and municipalities or the potential bundling of smaller uptakers as well as by exploring the use of credit guarantees to reduce these agreements’ financial risks, taking into account that these guarantees, where public, should not crowd out private financing.

On the basis of the measures to improve administWithin six month after the entry into force of this amending Directive, the Commission should publish guidelines on permit grantiveng to shorten and simplify procedursses for renewable energy installations that Member States are to report on, repowering and the upgrade of renewable projects. Member States should describe their current permitting practices and the corrective measures to be taken to align with the EC’s guidelines by 15 March 2023 in their first integrated national energy and climate progress reports pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , tThe Commission should assess the corrective measures in the plans and scoring of each Member state and whether the provisions included in this Directive to streamline these procedures have resulted in smooth and proportionate procedures. If that assessment reveals significant scope for improvement in accordance with the key performance indicators developed in the context of the guidelines. The EC’s assessment should be made public and if that assessment reveals lack of progress, the Commission should take appropriatedditional measures to ensureassisting Member States havin reforming their procedures to ensure streamlined and efficient administrative procedures in place. __________________ 15 Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, amending Regulations (EC) No 663/2009 and (EC) No 715/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 94/22/EC, 98/70/EC, 2009/31/EC, 2009/73/EC, 2010/31/EU, 2012/27/EU and 2013/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directives 2009/119/EC and (EU) 2015/652 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 1).

(11) Buildings have a large untapped potential to contribute effectively to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions inand to the achievement of the renewable and energy efficiency targets of the Union. The decarbonisation of heating and cooling in this sector through an increased share in productionthe phase out of fossil based solution and the uptake of the most energy efficient and suse oftainable renewable energy solution for the given local context will be needed to meet the ambition set in the Climate Target PlanLaw to achieve the Union objective of climate neutrality. However, progress on the use of renewables for heating and cooling has been stagnant in the last decade, largely relying on increased use of biomass. Without the establishment of targets to increase the production and use of renewable energy in buildings in accordance with the energy efficiency first principle, there will be no ability to track progress and identify bottlenecks in the uptake of renewables. Furthermore, the creation of targets will provide a long-term signal to investors, including for the period immediately after 2030. This will complement obligations related to energy efficiency and the energy performance of buildings. Therefore, bindicativeng targets for the use of renewable energy in buildings should be set to guide and incentivise Member States’ efforts to exploit the potential of using and producing renewable energy on -site or nearby in buildings, encourage the development of and integrationuptake of technologies which produce renewable energy and help their efficient integration in the energy system, while providing certainty for investors and local level engagement as well as contributing to system efficiency.

(11a) Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the case for a rapid energy transition has never been stronger and clearer. Russia provides more than 40% of the EU's total gas consumption, which is mostly used in the building sector, which is responsible for 40% of the EU’s total energy consumption. By accelerating the roll out of solar rooftops and heat pumps the EU could save significant amounts of fossil fuel imports. Frontloading such investments will further accelerate the reduction of EU dependence from external suppliers. According to REPowerEU, for 2022 alone an additional 2,5 bcm of gas could be saved by installing up to 15 TWh of rooftop solar PV systems, and an additional 12bcm by every 10 million heat pumps installed. At the same time this would be a major booster to local job markets, alone such an installation wave for solar roof tops could create up to 225.000 local jobs in the installation business1a. __________________ 1a European Commission, Joint Research Centre (2020), Arnulf Jäger-Waldau: "The Untapped Area Potential for Photovoltaic Power in the European Union"

(12) Member States shall ensure that well-trained and qualified installers of renewable heating and cooling systems, including thermal storage systems, of renewable electricity, such as photovoltaics, domestic batteries and electric vehicles’ charging stations, are available in sufficient numbers for the relevant technologies to service the growth of renewable energy required to contribute the targets for renewable energy enshrined in this Directive. Insufficient numbers of skilled workers, in particular installers and designers of renewable heating and cooling systems, slow down the replacement of fossil fuel heating systemtechnologies by renewable energy based systems and is a major barrier to integrating renewables in buildings, industry and agriculture and the energy system overall. Member States should cooperate with social partners and renewable energy communities to anticipate the skills that will be needed. A sufficient number of high-quality and effective upskilling and reskilling strategies and inclusive training programmes and certification possibilities should ensuringe proper installation and reliable operation of a wide range of renewable heating and cooling systemand storage technologies as well as electric vehicles charging points should be made available and designed in a way to attract participation for all workers in such training programmes and certification systems. Member States should consider what actions should be taken to attract groups currently under- represented in the occupational areas in question. The list of trained and certified installers should be made public and widely promoted to ensure consumer trust and easy access to tailored designer and installer skills guaranteeing proper installation and operation of renewable heating and coolingand storage technologies and for electric vehicles charging points. Such lists may be used as a prerequisite for grants or support schemes.

In order to establish a coherent Union base for the use of guarantees of origin and to provide access to appropriate supporting evidence for persons concluding renewable power and heating and cooling purchase agreements, all renewable energy producers should be able to receive a guarantee of origin without prejudice to Member States’ obligation to take into account the market value of the guarantees of origin if the energy producers receive financial support.

(13a) The Commission should develop, by means of a delegated act, a Union-wide green label that should inter alia use the following criteria to differentiate renewables installations with regard to their capacity with or without a public support scheme for operating and/or investment aid, whether it came into operation after the entry into force of this Directive and in case of guarantees of origins for renewable fuels of non- biological origins, the method used to comply with the additionality as defined in DA [XXX] as well as the relevant sustainability criteria for bioenergy. Such a label would contribute notably to the establishment of a market for green electricity without public support, for example via long term power purchase agreements, which would be of particular interest also for private companies that would like to market themselves as green as a unique selling point and genuinely contribute the energy transition and the fight against climate change.

Extending the guarantees of origin system to energy from non- renewable sources should be an option for Member States. This would provide a consistent means of proving to final customers the origin of renewable heat such as biomethane and would facilitate greater cross-border trade in such gas. It would also enable the creation of guarantees of origin for other renewable gas such as renewable hydrogen.

(15) With more than 30 million electric vehicles expected in the Union by 2030 it is necessary to ensure that they can fully contribute to the system integration of renewable electricity, and thus allow reaching higher shares of renewable electricity in an energy efficient and cost- optimal manner. The potential of electric vehicles to absorb renewable electricity at times when it is abundant and feed it back into a grid when there is scarcity has to be fully utilised. It is therefore appropriatenecessary to introduce specific measures on electric vehicles and information about renewable energy and how and when to access it which complement those in Directive (EU) 2014/94 of the European Parliament and of the Council16 and the [proposed Regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, repealing Directive 2006/66/EC and amending Regulation (EU) No 2019/1020]. __________________ 16 Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (OJ L 307, 28.10.2014, p. 1)

(17) The increasing number of electric vehicles in road, rail, maritime and other transport modes will require that recharging operations are optimised and managed in a way that does not cause congestion and takes full advantage of the availability of renewable electricity and low electricity prices in the system. In situations where smart and bidirectional charging would assist further efficient penetration of renewable electricity by electric vehicle fleets in transport and the electricity system in general, such functionality should also be made available. In view of the long life span of recharging points, requirements for charging infrastructure should be kept updated in a way that would cater for future needs and would not result in negative lock-in effects to the development of technology and services.

(18) Electric vehicle users entering into contractual agreements with electromobility service providers and electricity market participants should have the right to receive information and explanations on how the terms of the agreement will affect the use of their vehicle and the state of health of its battery. Electromobility service providers and electricity market participants should explain clearly to electric vehicle users how they will be remunerated for the flexibility, how their aggregated data will be used, balancing and storage services provided to the electricity system and market by the use of their electric vehicle. Electric vehicle users also need to have their consumer rights secured when entering into such agreements, in particular regarding the protection of their privacy and personal data such as location and driving habits, in connection to the use of their vehicle. Electric vehicle users’ preference regarding the type of electricity purchased for use in their electric vehicle, as well as other preferences, canshould also be part of such agreements. For the above reasons, it is important that electric vehicle users can use their subscription at multiple recharging pointso ensure that the charging infrastructure that is to be deployed is used most effectively and to improve consumer confidence in e- mobility, it is essential that the use of publicly accessible recharging stations is open to all users, regardless of the car brand or connector type, whether or not they are part of a contract-based payment scheme and that they accept payment cards widely used in the Union. This will also allow the electric vehicle user’s service provider of choice to optimally integrate the electric vehicle in the electricity system, through predictable planning and incentives based on the electric vehicle user preferences This is also in line with the principles of a consumer-centric and prosumer-based energy system, and the right of supplier choice of electric vehicle users as final customers as per the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/944.

(20) Recharging points where electric vehicles typically park for extended periods of time, such as where people park for reasons of residence or employment, are highly relevant to energy system integration, therefore smart and bidirectional charging functionalities need to be ensured. In this regard, the operation of non-publicly accessible normal charging infrastructure is particularly important for the integration of electric vehicles in the electricity system as it is located where electric vehicles are parked repeatedly for long periods of time, such as in buildings with restricted access, employee parking or parking facilities rented out to natural or legal persons.

(21) Industry accounts for 25% of the Union’s energy consumption, and is a major consumer of heating and cooling, which is currently supplied 91% by fossil fuels. However, 50% of heating and cooling demand is low-64% of natural gas use in industry in the Union goes to produce low and medium temperatures (<2up to 500 °C ) for which there are mature, cost-effective renewable energy options, including through electrificationand more energy efficient renewable energy options available on the market, notably industrial heat pumps, renewables based direct electrification and geothermal solutions. In addition, industry uses non- renewable sources as raw materials to produce products such as steel or chemicals. Industrial investment decisions today will determine the future industrial processes and energy options that can be considered by industry, so it is important that those investments decisions are future-proofin line with the European Green Deal goals and to avoid the creation of stranded-assets. Therefore, benchmarkinding targets should be put in place to incentivise industry to switch to a renewables-based production processes that not only are fuelled by renewable energy, but also usethe most sustainable and energy-efficient renewables-based production processes for any given application, as well as to also replace current feedstocks uses with renewable-based raw materials such as renewable hydrogen. Moreover, a common methodology for products that are labelled as having been produced partially or fully using renewable energy or using renewable fuels of non-biological origin as feedstock is required, taking into accoubuilding onto existing Union product labelling methodologies and sustainable product initiativesforming an integral part of the sustainable product initiatives in order to avoid duplication and parallel labelling systems which could be further confusing the consumers . This would avoid deceptive practices and increase consumers trust. Furthermore, given consumer preference for products that contribute to environmental and climate change objectives, it would stimulate a market demand for those products.

(22) Renewable fuels of non-biological origin can be used for energy purposes, but also for non-energy purposes as feedstock or raw material in industries such as steel or chemicals. The use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin for both purposes exploits their full potential to replace fossil fuels used as feedstock and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industry and should therefore be included in a target In application of the energy efficiency first principle, renewable fuels of non-biological origin should be prioritised for non-energy purposes as feedstock or raw material in industries such as steel or chemicals, and they should be excluded from covering heat demand that may be otherwise satisfied with more energy efficient renewable-based solutions, such as industrial heat-pumps, direct renewable-electrification or geothermal solutions, which are 1 to 5 times more energy efficient than using electrolytic hydrogen. Therefore, the use of renewable fuels of non-biological origin to replace fossil fuels used as feedstock is a no-regret option that should be spurred by means of a dedicated target. National measures to support the uptake of renewable fuels of non-biological origin in those industryial sectors should not result in net pollution increases due to an increased demand for electricity generation that is satisfied by the most polluting fossil fuels, such as coal, diesel, lignite, oil peat and oil shale.

(23) Increasing ambition in the heating and cooling sector is key to delivering the overall renewable energy target given that heating and cooling constitutes around half of the Union's energy consumption, covering a wide range of end uses and technologies in buildings, industry and district heating and cooling. To accelerate the increase of renewables in heating and cooling, an annual 1.1at least 4.2 percentage point increase at Member State level should be made binding as a minimum for all Member States. For those Member States, which already have renewable shares above 50% in the heating and cooling sector, it should remain possible to only apply half of the binding annual increase rate and Member States with 60% or above may count any such share as fulfilling the average annual increase rate in accordance with points b) and c) of paragraph 2 of Article 23. In addition,order to better exploit local renewable heating and cooling resources Member State-s specific top-ups should be set, redistributing hall carry out with the involvement of local and regional authorities, in compliance withe additional efforts to the desired level of renewables in 2030 among Member States based on GDP and cost- effectivenessrticle 15a (new), an assessment of their potential of energy from renewable sources in the heating and cooling sector and of the use of unavoidable waste heat and cold in full compliance with the energy efficiency first principle. A longer list of different measures should also be included in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 to facilitate increasing the share of renewables in heating and cooling. Member States may implement one or more measures from the list of measures.

(25) Member States should support the renovation of existing and the development of highly efficient 4th and 5th generation renewable district heating and cooling networks fuelled exclusively by renewable energy sources and unavoidable waste heat or cold, following a positive economic and environmental cost/benefit analysis undertaken in partnership with local authorities involved. Modern renewable-based efficient district heating and cooling systems have demonstrated their potential to provide cost-effective solutions for integrating renewable energy, increased energy efficiency and energy system integration, facilitating the overall decarbonisatreduction of GHG emissions of the heating and cooling sector. To ensure this potential is harnessed, the annual increase of renewable energy and/or waste heat in district heating and cooling should be raised from 1 percentage point to 2.1 without changing the indicative nature of this increase, reflecting the uneven development of this type of network across the Union.

Further cooperation with gas network operators, including renewable hydrogen and other energy networks, should also be made possible to ensure a wider integration across energy carriers and their most cost- effective use.

(29) The use of renewable fuels and renewable electricity in transport can contribute to the decarbonisation of the Union transport sector in a cost-effective manner, and improve, amongst other, energy diversification in that sector while promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Union economy and reducing reliance on energy imports. With a view to achieving the increased target for greenhouse gas emission savings defined by the Union, the level of renewable energy supplied to all transport modes in the Union should be increased and the most energy efficient and sustainable renewable energy promoted for each transport sector, acknowledging the higher energy efficiency of electricity powered transport. Expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target would stimulate an increasing use of the most cost-effective and performing fuels, in terms of greenhouse gas savings, in transport. In addition, aMember states may choose to meet the GHG target by means of measures targeting volumes, energy content or greenhouse gas emissions, provided that it is demonstrated that the greenhouse gas intensity reduction and sub-targets are met. A greenhouse gas intensity reduction target would stimulate innovation and set out a clear benchmark to compare across fuel types and renewable electricity depending on their greenhouse gas intensity. Complementary to this, increasing the level of the energy-based target on advanced biofuels and biogas and introducing a target for renewable fuels of non-biological origin for the aviation and shipping sectors would ensure an increased use of the renewable fuels with the smallest environmental impact in transport modes that are difficult to directly electrify. The achievement of those targets should be ensured by obligations on fuel suppliers, that ensure the inclusion of renewable electricity as well as by other measures included in [Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport - FuelEU Maritime and Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport]. Dedicated obligations on aviation fuel suppliers should be set only pursuant to [Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport].

(30) Electromobility will play an essential role in decarbonising the transport sector. To foster the further development of electromobility and use of renewable electricity in transport, Member States should establish a credit mechanism enabling operators of charging points accessible to the publicsuppliers of electricity to mobility, including ships docked in harbours, through recharging stations to contribute, by supplying renewable electricity, towards the fulfilment of the obligation set up by Member States on fuel suppliers. While supporting electricity in transport through such a mechanism, it is important that Member States continue setting a high level of ambition for the decarbshift the renewable and gaseous liquid fuels to aviation and shipping where direct electrification isation of their liquid fuel mix in transport much more difficult, and take into account the higher energy efficiency of electricity-powered transport, and exclude transport electricity suppliers from obligations to fuel molecules.

(31) The Union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the climate change mitigation objectives of the European Union in terms of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In the pursuit of this goal, it is essential to also contribute to wider environmental objectives, and in particular the prevention of biodiversity loss, which is negatively impacted by the indirect land use change associated to the production of certain biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels, which should be phased out without delay. Contributing to these climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for Union citizens and the Union legislator. As a consequence, the changes in the way the transport target is calculated should not affect the limits established on how to account toward that target certain fuels produced from food and feed crops on the one hand and high indirect land-use change-risk fuels on the other hand. In addition, in order not to create an incentive to use biofuels and biogas produced from food and feed crops in transport, Member States should continue to be able to choose whether to count them or not towards the transport target. If they do not count them, they may reduce the greenhouse gas intensity reduction target accordingly, assuming that food and feed crop-based biofuels save 50% greenhouse gas emissions, which corresponds to the typical values set out in an annex to this Directive for the greenhouse gas emission savings of the most relevant production pathways of food and feed crop-based biofuels as well as the minimum savings threshold applying to most installations producing such biofuels.

(31a) The growth of biofuel consumption in Member States is a driver of indirect land use change and food price volatility, posing a threat to global food security. This is because the majority of EU biofuel production and consumption comes from crops grown on land that could be used instead in the food and feed markets. In order to reduce indirect land use change emissions and limit the risk of food insecurity, it is appropriate to progressively phase out biofuels, bioliquids as well as biomass fuels obtained from crops. In the meantime, in case of severe disruption on food markets, Member States shall take rapid action to secure global food security, such as suspension measures on the production and blending of crop based biofuels.

(32) Expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target makes it unnecessary to use multipliers to promote certain renewable energy sources. This is because different renewable energy sources save different amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and, therefore, contribute differently to a target. Renewable electricity should be considered to have zero emissions, meaning it saves 100% emissions compared to electricity produced from fossil fuels. This will create an incentive for the use of renewable electricity since renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels are unlikely to achieve such a high percentage of savings. Electrification relying on renewable energy sources would therefore become the most efficient way to decarbonise road transport. In addition, in order to promote the use of advanced biofuels and biogas and renewable fuels of non-biological origin in the aviation and maritime modes, which are difficult to electrify, it is appropriate to keep the multiplier for those fuels supplied in those modes when counted towards the specific targets set foruse advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non- biological origin only in thoese fuelsectors.

(33) Direct electrification of end-use sectors, including the transport sector, contributes to the efficiency and facilitates the transition to an energy system based on renewable energy. It is therefore in itself an effective means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in particular when based on renewable electricity. The creation of a framework on additionality applying specifically to renewable electricity supplied to electric vehicles in the transport is therefore not required to ensure that the increase in electricity consumption in the transport sector leads to new investments in at least equivalent amounts of additional renewable capacity, especially in countries with low renewable electricity shares.

(34) Since renewable fuels of non- biological origin are to be counted as renewable energy regardless of the sector in which they are consumed, the rules to determine their renewable nature when produced from electricity, which were applicable only to those fuels when consumed in the transport sector, should be extended to all renewable fuels of non- biological origin, regardless of the sector where they are consumed. As the producing country of Renewable fuels of non-biological origin may be different from the country consuming, a sharing mechanism needs to be ensured so that both countries benefit of the produced renewables.

(38) The Union database to be set up by the Commission aims at enabling the tracing of solid, liquid and gaseous renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels. Its scope should be extended from transport to all other end- use sectors in which such fuels are consumed. This should make a vital contribution to the comprehensive monitoring of the production and consumption of those fuels, mitigating risks of double-counting or irregularities along the supply chains covered by the Union database. In addition, to avoid any risk of double claims on the same renewable gas, a guarantee of origin issued for any consignment of renewable gas registered in the database should be cancelled. This database shall be made publicly available in an open, transparent and user friendly manner. The Commission shall publish annual reports for the general public about the information reported in the Union database including the quantities, the geographic origin and feedstock type of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels per fuel supplier and per member state.
