Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition of the industry target
Quotas considered are the same as in REDIII. The legislation could be part of the broader national energy and climate strategy which still (by February 2025) needs public consultation, so the May 2025 deadline for transposition might not be met. Options being considered are quotas, financial incentives or both. A government-backed study suggests a mixed approach with corporate-level obligations complemented by a financial mechanism to close the cost gap for hydrogen users. 34 ktpa of renewable hydroegn could be needed to meet the targets
