Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition of transport target

Plans to expand the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation currently covering biofuels in road transport. Combined biofuels and RFNBO targets are 8% in 2026 increasing to 11%, 14%, 18%, 21.5% towards 2030. The RFNBO targets start at 0.1% in 2028 to 1% in 2029 and 2.5% in 2030. The proposed 2.5% target is higher than the 1% in RED to make sure Ireland meets the RED target despite the use of bonus credits by fuel suppliers which could count hydrogen more than once. This is the same reason why the combined quota (21.5%) is also above the RED quota (5.5%). In the current RTFO, RFNBO can generate certificates that are 4x the energy content of the fuels
