The German government has decided to raise the share of renewable energies in the transport sector to 28% by 2030, which is twice as high as the EU goal of 14%. In addition, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction quota, which obliges suppliers of petroleum products to reduce emissions from their fuel by using climate-friendly energy products, will rise from 6% in 2021 to 10% by 2026, 14.5% in 2028 and 22% in 2030. The share of biofuels from food and feed crops is expected to remain stable at 4.4%, while the use of palm oil, which currently accounts for 20% of biofuels used to meet the quota, will be phased-out by 2026. The country intends to increase the share of advanced biofuels to at least 2.6% by 2030. For aviation, the share of renewables will be raised to 0.5% in 2026, 1% in 2028 and 2% in 2030.
According to Eurostat, the share of renewable energy sources in transport was 7.7% in 2019.
