says Spanish biofuel proposals doesn’t transpose RED III

In Spain, APPA Biocarburents considers that the draft Royal Decree of renewable fuels in transport presented by MITECO last July, which is currently continuing its processing, requires substantial changes to adequately transpose the provisions of transport in the new EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), especially with regard to advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (CRONB),

Although the association values positively the establishment of specific objectives for the sale or consumption of renewable energies for the different transport subsectors (road, rail, cabotage and air navigation), as well as specific objectives for advanced biofuels, advanced bioethanol and end- and intermediate-use CRONBs, the project proposal to allow CRONBs to be used or destined for sectors other than transport, such as, for example, the industry, to be used or destined for the production of the advanced biofuels

APPA Biofuels also does not share the project’s proposal that obliged subjects be able to comply with CRONB with the entire combined share of advanced biofuels and CRONB in the planned transport for 2030 (8%), which would allow them to be completely exempted from compliance with the sub-target of advanced biofuels planned in the project for the same year (5.5%).
