Amendment 75 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1
Article 1
This Directive establishes a common framework for the promotion of energy from renewable sources. It sets mandatory targets for the overall share of energy from renewable sources in energy consumption and recommends such targets for the share of energy from renewable sources in transport. It also lays down rules relating to guarantees of origin, administrative procedures and electricity grid connections in relation to energy from renewable sources. It establishes environmental sustainability criteria for biofuels and other bioliquids.
