COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2023/1184 of 10 February 2023 supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing a Union methodology setting out detailed rules for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin

Summary

The European Union has introduced a new regulation to ensure that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, critical for decarbonizing sectors like maritime and aviation, are genuinely produced using renewable electricity. This initiative addresses the challenge of preventing these fuels from being made with fossil-based electricity, which would undermine environmental goals and increase dependency on fossil fuels. This completed regulation sets out detailed criteria for electricity sourcing, including rules for temporal and geographic correlation, direct connections, and the use of power purchase agreements to stimulate new renewable generation capacity.
