RED III (2023 - 2030)

On July 14, 2021, the European Commission (EC) published a proposal amending the EU Renewable Energy Directive 2018/2001 (RED II) of December 11, 2018 and the Fuel Quality Directive 98/70/EC as amended (FQD). Abbreviated as RED III, the proposal is one of the legislative measures that the EU aims to apply to meet the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. The proposal has to be approved by the Council of Europe and European Parliament (EP). This process can take about 1.5 to 2 years.

Table below summarizes the key changes proposed in RED III for the transport sector.
