REA, 2009
Position Paper on the UK’s implementation of the renewable transport elements of the RED and the FQD
This paper sets out the REA's preliminary position on a number of the key issues which need to be addressed in considering the implementation in the UK of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD). The paper covers: 1) Scenario modelling to reach the 10% transport target in the RED (this will include REA views on the trajectory for renewable transport; a consequential view on the GHG saving trajectory for the FQD is also suggested); 2) Consideration of the specific requirements for advanced biofuels; 3) A proposed market mechanism for both the RED and the FQD under an amended RTFO; and 4) Principles against which any future indirect land use change policy at EU level must be assessed.
