T&E calls on Member States to increase use of renewable electricity for transport

Brussels, 04/10/2019 (Agence Europe)

In order to implement the European Renewable Energy Directive (‘RED II’) by June 2021, Member States should use more electricity from renewable energy sources for transport, according to a Transport & Environment (T&E) report published on Thursday 3 October.

“The implementation [of RED II]offers an important opportunity to shift national policies away from an exclusive reliance on crop-based biofuels (especially palm oil) to a broader range of cleaner, advanced fuels”, contends T&E.
