We support increasing the target for renewable energy from 32 to 40%, but believe that it could be raised further, to 50% in 2030 if the target for the transport sector is raised, which is possible if the attitude towards biofuels from agricultural crops is changed and restrictions on these biofuels are removed. The target for the transport sector of 13% greenhouse gas reduction is too low.

What they argued
Swedish Bioenergy Association (SVEBIO)’s Reply to the Public Consultation on Inception Impact Assessment Revision of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources Svebio, the Swedish Bioenergy Association, is an independent organisation promoting increased bioenergy deployment in an economically and environmentally optimal way.
Answer from Svebio - Swedish Bioenergy Association We strongly support extension of carbon pricing to the sectors outside ETS. But we are not convinced that inclusion in ETS of the heating and transport sectors are the right way to do this. We would instead prefer introducing carbon taxes on sectors outside ETS. It is a simpler and more straightforward incentive than carbon emission trading.
The European Commission misses the opportunity to introduce a common minimum tax rate for carbon dioxide emissions. This is remarkable given that the proposed directive is part of the Green deal. Our proposal is a minimum carbon dioxide tax of 25 €/ton CO2 for all sectors outside ETS. This would be a better incentive than the proposed ETS-system for buildings and transport.
The EU regulation has to change from zero tail-pipe to well-to-wheels and conventional biofuels from crops are much needed also for cars. The EU climate target for the transport sector is far too low, only 13 percent in emission reduction by 2030 compared to the Swedish target of 70 percent reduction.
Reasons why delayed harvest and storing carbon in forests is not the optimal climate solution. It is essential to safeguard the carbon sequestration in forests and other lands. But one must keep in mind that the forestry and agricultural systems are dynamic and fulfill several functions in parallel.
