    Tightening sustainability requirements for renewable fuels

    Sustainability requirements for renewable fuels would be tightened and extended to cover smaller heating and power plants than before, as well as electricity-based renewable fuels. An increasing number of energy producers would have to verify the sustainability of their fuels and report on them to the authorities.

    Slowing fuel distribution obligation increases

    The distribution obligation for transport fuels will be increased more moderately than previously enacted in 2025–2027, curbing price pressures on petrol and diesel. At the same time, fuel distributors will also be able to fulfil their obligation through public charging electricity and by financing other emission reduction measures.
