Summary RED I and II have been ineffective in decarbonising transport: • Oil is winning • Transport related GHG emissions are rising • RED II (transport) is expected to achieve less than 10% renewables by 2030 in real terms A revised RED II for the European Green Deal will need to reflect three principles: I. Oil needs to be replaced, demand growth halted and reversed II. Renewables fraud needs to be prevented III.

We welcome the ambitions of the EU Green Deal and appreciate the opportunity to provide input. We have some concerns that biomass and bioenergy (within sustainable harvesting and production levels) does not get the attention and support it deserves, as it is a major component to transform energy and transport systems so that we can leave fossil carbon in the ground.

Delivering sustainable heating and cooling is fundamental to achieve Europe’s climate neutrality ambition. District heating and cooling (DHC) can contribute to advancing this goal, supporting the delivery of the energy and climate objectives outlined in the EU Green Deal.

Renewable energy (‘EnR’) is an essential tool to achieve carbon neutrality by reducing European exposure to fossil fuels, the depletion of which ultimately represents a threat to the economy. However, their deployment is not an end in itself, but a means — among others — of responding to the twin challenges of climate and fossil fuel depletion.

1. As the energy sector biggest source of GHG emissions, renewable energy has an important role in reducing GHG’s but also “reducing pollution.” (burning biomass, especially for residential heating, is one of the main sources of air pollution that already kills over 1,000 EU citizens per day. See Paper Tiger page 20). 2. EGD seeks to increase GHG reduction targets “in a responsible way.” 3.
