ePURE’s position on RED II revision – public consultation

As the EU is once again moving towards a new revision of the RED, it is critical that the European Commission takes stock of the shortcomings of the approach that has been taken so far on renewables in transport and crop-based biofuels in particular. The design of RED II puts renewables against each other, instead of trying to replace fossil fuels as much as possible. This approach, initiated by the ILUC Directive, hinders greater renewable energy incorporation.
