The Swedish Gas Association – Energigas Sverige, the industry organisation in Sweden – is thankful for the invitation to contribute comments on the Commission’s revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (hereafter called RED III), 14 July 2021. The Swedish Gas Association has only had a short time to examine the proposal, and thus has only been able to analyse it a limited amount of detail.

What they argued
The Swedish Gas Association – Energigas Sverige – welcomes a review of the Energy Tax Directive (ETD). The current ETD is an outdated directive from 2003 that does not reflect the EU’s climate goals. We welcome the position taken in “Fit for 55” that regulations should work better together but it is a challenge that so many directives are being changed at the same time while also referring to each other.
We welcome strict requirements in the EU’s CO2 emission performance standards, but we believe that EU legislation should be built around research-based well-to-wheel or life-cycle analysis on climate emissions. We are very critical of the persisting with the tailpipe approach, as proposed by the Commission.
The Swedish Gas Association welcomes the EU’s ambitious comprehensive approach to climate policy. The climate package “Fit for 55” is an important big step in reducing emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality by 2050 – two urgent targets that the Swedish Gas Association fully supports and stands behind.
The Swedish Gas Association welcomes an ambitious expansion of infrastructure for electric and hydrogen vehicles, but we believe that biomethane should be addressed with the same level of ambition. This is not the case with the Commission’s proposed regulations, even though biomethane is one of the market’s most sustainable and cost-effective alternative fuels.
We welcome the initiative to review current CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles and to set more ambitious emission reduction targets for such vehicles. We also want to stress that EU legislation, including CO2 emissions standards regulation, should be built around research-based well-to-wheel or life-cycle analysis on climate emissions.
