Bioenergy Europe’s Secretariat has worked on a position paper focusing on the role of renewable heating in the Fit for 55. The document looks at the proposals for revision of the Renewable Energy Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive and suggests some amendments to improve the text. The concept presented are based on previous position and internal discussion. Please share your inputs on the draft by 8 November COB and contact Irene di Padua for further information on this topic.
Following the stakeholder workshop of 29 October, Bioenergy Europe drafted some inputs on the role of bioenergy in the draft roadmap and developed a one-pager summarising our main concerns regarding this initiative. We strongly encourage to share your inputs on the roadmap and the one-pager by 7 November. For more information, please contact Irene di Padua.
