EU climate target: Council clears the way for ‘Fit for 57’

The Council adopted the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the ReFuelEU regulation for aviation. The new RED sets an expansion target for renewables of 42.5 percent, while ReFuelEU includes mandatory quotas for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). This means all projects of the „Fit for 55“ legislative package have been adopted by the co-legislators and the way is clear for the concrete implementation of the EU climate targets by 2030.
