Frequently Asked Questions on Renewable Energy & Clean Tech Regulations
What renewable energy target does RED III mandate for 2030?
Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (RED III) raises the binding EU renewable energy target to at least 42.5% by 2030 (with an indicative top-up of 2.5%), introduces 'renewables acceleration areas' with fast-track permitting, and mandates sub-targets for transport and industry RFNBO green hydrogen use.
What are Renewables Acceleration Areas and how do they fast-track permitting?
RED III requires Member States to designate 'renewables acceleration areas' — zones where renewable energy projects benefit from simplified environmental assessments and maximum permitting deadlines of 12 months (or 6 months in technology-upgrade cases). Projects inside these areas benefit from a presumption of overriding public interest, limiting legal challenges under habitat and birds directives.
What is the RFNBO Delegated Regulation for green hydrogen?
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1184 defines when hydrogen qualifies as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) through three cumulative criteria: additionality (electrolyser powered by new renewable capacity), temporal correlation (monthly matching transitioning to hourly by 2030), and geographic correlation (same bidding zone or connected via uncongested interconnectors).
