The European Red III initiative has been forcing European nations to reconsider their commitments to clean energy on the continent. The initiative is aimed at increasing renewable energy developments and removing barriers for member states to promote the production and use of clean energy. Germany’s cabinet has recently enacted a law to transpose the EU Renewable Energy Directive into domestic legislation.

Germany’s progressive nature has been on full display recently
In December of last year, the German cabinet approved proposed legislation to implement the EU RED III directive into law, paving the way for other European nations to do the same. The aim of the RED III directive is to foster a more welcoming environment for renewable energy production across the EU member states.

By implementing the directive into law, Germany can now reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction quota and do away with double-counting of advanced fuels from this year onwards. The new bill, passed by the cabinet, follows a leak in November that will see the overall greenhouse gas reduction quota level rise to 59pc by 2040.
