06/02/24 (Agence Europe) – In 2022, the share of renewable energy sources in transport reached 9.6% at EU level, i.e. 0.5% more than in 2021 (9.1%), according to a Eurostat publication released on Monday 5 February. However, this increase is less than the record increase recorded in 2020 (10.3%). A major effort is needed to achieve the 29% target set for 2030 by European Directive 2023/2413 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (see EUROPE 13106/35). With 29.2% of renewable energy used in transport, Sweden tops the league table, well ahead of the other Member States. It has already reached the 2030 target. Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary recorded the biggest increases. Finally, Croatia, Latvia and Greece are the furthest behind. For more information: https://aeur.eu/f/apy (AD)
