The Netherlands is making strides towards achieving its renewable energy targets under the latest update to the Renewable Energy Directive, known as RED III. The directive, implemented by the EU in 2023, requires Member States to meet ambitious renewable energy goals. RED III sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030 for the Netherlands, surpassing the earlier target proposed by the Fit for 55 package. The directive also focuses on increasing the use of renewable fuels in the transport sector, with specific targets for advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs). Examples of RFNBOs include green hydrogen and ammonia. RED III includes multipliers to facilitate meeting these targets, although critics argue that these multipliers may provide a distorted view of progress. Additionally, RED III mandates that the industrial sector increase its renewable energy usage by 1.6% annually, with specific targets for hydrogen usage. Buildings are also a key focus, with a target of 49% renewable energy by 2030, and country-specific targets have been set for the Netherlands. The directive aims to accelerate the transition to clean energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, aligning with the broader goals of the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package.
