It does so while keeping the interests of our citizens in mind, and providing opportunities for our European industry. The legislation to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 is now in place, and I am very happy that we are even on track to overshoot this ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key pieces of legislation adopted by Council included the Renewables Energy Directive, which mandates that renewable energy make up 42.5% of the EU\u2019s overall energy consumption by 2030, while also directing EU Member States to endeavor to collectively achieve an indicative renewable energy target of 45%. Renewable energy accounted for approximately 22% of the EU energy mix in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legislation significantly raises the EU\u2019s renewable energy goal from its current 2030 target of 32%, and even above the initial 40% goal proposed by the European Commission\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/european-council-agrees-on-tougher-renewables-energy-efficiency-targets-for-eu\/\">\u201cFit for 55\u201d roadmap<\/a>, the EU\u2019s proposed strategy to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. That target was raised to the 45% goal in May 2022 with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/eu-unveils-e300-billion-plan-to-scale-green-energy-transition-cut-reliance-on-russian-fossil-fuel\/\">EU\u2019s REPowerEU Plan<\/a>, as part of the strategy to rapidly reduce reliance on Russian fossil fuels in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Renewable Energy Directive also includes a series of sector-specific sub-targets aimed at accelerating the adoption of renewables in industries in which adoption has been slower, including transport, industry, buildings and district heating and cooling. Sector targets under the legislation include reaching at least a 49% renewable energy share in buildings by 2030, as well as measures to gradually increase renewable targets for cooling and heating, a 14.5% reduction in transport sector emissions by 2030 through increased renewables deployment, requirements for industry to increase the use of renewable energy annually by 1.6% and for 42% of the hydrogen used in industry to come from renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs) by 2030, and 60% by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teresa Ribera, Spanish acting Minister for the Ecological Transition, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThis is a great achievement in the framework of the \u00b4Fit for 55\u00b4package which will help reaching the EU\u2019s climate goal of reducing EU emissions by at least 55% by 2030. It is a step forward which will contribute to reach the EU\u00b4s climate targets in a fair, cost-effective and competitive way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Council also adopted the \u201cReFuelEU aviation\u201d law, aimed at increasing both the demand and supply of sustainable aviation fuel, with rules including minimum blends of SAF for fuel suppliers, as well as requirements for aircraft operators and airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuel accounts for the vast majority of the aviation sector\u2019s emissions. Generally produced from sustainable resources, like waste oils and agricultural residues, SAF is seen as one of the key tools to help decarbonize the aviation industry in the near- to medium-term. SAF producers estimate the fuels can result in lifecycle GHG emissions reductions of as much as 85% relative to conventional fuels. Efforts to meaningfully increase the use of SAF by airlines face significant challenges, however, including the low supply currently available on the market, and prices well above those of conventional fossil-based fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For aviation fuel suppliers, the new rules will require a minimum share of SAF at EU airports, starting a 2% in 2025, and increasing over time to reach 70% by 2050, as well as a minimum share of synthetic fuels starting in 2030 and also increasing through 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rules for aircraft operators include a requirement for flights departing EU airports to refuel only with the fuel necessary for the flight, and to ensure that the yearly amount of aviation fuel uplifted at EU airports is equal to at least 90% of the yearly aviation fuel required. According to the European Council, the rules are aimed at avoiding emissions related to extra weight from unnecessary fuel, and to avoid carbon leakage through \u201ctankering,\u201d in which airlines would deliberately carry excess fuel to avoid refueling at airports with higher SAF requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new law also requires the creation of a labelling scheme about aircraft operators\u2019 environmental performance using SAF, aimed at enabling consumers to make informed choices and at promoting greener flights. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/austrian-airlines-found-guilty-in-greenwashing-over-carbon-neutral-flight-claims\/\">Several airlines<\/a> have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esgtoday.com\/advertising-watchdog-says-lufthansa-ad-gave-misleading-environmental-claims\/\">accused or charged<\/a> with greenwashing over unclear or misleading SAF-related claims over the past few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raquel S\u00e1nchez Jim\u00e9nez, Spanish acting minister of transport, mobility and urban agenda, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe new law will provide legal certainty to aircraft operators and fuel suppliers in Europe. By kick-starting the large-scale production of sustainable aviation fuels, it will soon make the EU\u2019s aviation sector much greener. This is a key step in our broader effort to reach our climate targets at European and global level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Council\u2019s adoption, the new laws will now be published in the EU\u2019s Official Journal for subsequent entry into force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Von der Leyen added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThis is an important sign to Europe and to our global partners that the green transition is possible, that Europe is delivering on its promises.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Council today announced the adoption of two pieces of legislation today, including a directive to nearly double the share of renewable energy consumption in the EU by 2030, and a law aimed at decarbonizing the aviation sector by accelerating the adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
