### (11) buildings have a large untapped potential to contribute effectively to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the union. the decarbonisation of heating and cooling in this sector through an increased share in production and use of renewable energy will be needed to meet the ambition set in the climate target plan to achieve the union objective of climate neutrality. however , progress on the use of renewables for heating and cooling has been stagnant in the last decade , largely relying on increased use of biomass. without the establishment of targets to increase the production and use of renewable energy in buildings , there will be no ability to track progress and identify bottlenecks in the uptake of renewables. furthermore , the creation of targets will provide a long-term signal to investors , including for the period immediately after 2030. this will complement obligations related to energy efficiency and the energy performance of buildings. therefore , indicative targets for the use of renewable energy in buildings should be set to guide and incentivise member states’ efforts to exploit the potential of using and producing renewable energy in buildings , encourage the development of and integration of technologies which produce renewable energy while providing certainty for investors and local level engagement. ### (11) buildings have a large untapped potential to contribute effectively to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the union. the decarbonisation of heating and cooling in this sector through an increased share in production and use of renewable energy will be needed to meet the ambition set in the climate target plan to achieve the union objective of climate neutrality. however , progress on the use of renewables for heating and cooling has been stagnant in the last decade , largely relying on increased use of biomass. without the establishment of targets to increase the production and use of renewable energy in buildings , there will be no ability to track progress and identify bottlenecks in the uptake of renewables. furthermore , the creation of targets will provide a long-term signal to investors , including for the period immediately after 2030. this will complement obligations related to energy efficiency and the energy performance of buildings. therefore , indicative targets for the use of renewable energy in buildings should be set to guide and incentivise member states’ efforts to exploit the potential of using and producing renewable energy in buildings , encourage the development of and integration of technologies which produce renewable energy while providing certainty for investors and local level engagement. finally , as renewable energy production often takes place at local and regional level and depends on local and regional smes , member states need to fully involve local and regional authorities when setting targets and supporting policy measures.

### (31) the union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the climate change mitigation objectives of the european union in terms of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. in the pursuit of this goal , it is essential to also contribute to wider environmental objectives , and in particular the prevention of biodiversity loss , which is negatively impacted by the indirect land use change associated to the production of certain biofuels , bioliquids and biomass fuels. contributing to these climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for union citizens and the union legislator. as a consequence , the changes in the way the transport target is calculated should not affect the limits established on how to account toward that target certain fuels produced from food and feed crops on the one hand and high indirect land-use change-risk fuels on the other hand. in addition , in order not to create an incentive to use biofuels and biogas produced from food and feed crops in transport , member states should continue to be able to choose whether count them or not towards the transport target. if they do not count them , they may reduce the greenhouse gas intensity reduction target accordingly , assuming that food and feed crop-based biofuels save 50% greenhouse gas emissions , which corresponds to the typical values set out in an annex to this directive for the greenhouse gas emission savings of the most relevant production pathways of food and feed crop-based biofuels as well as the minimum savings threshold applying to most installations producing such biofuels. ### (31) the union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the climate change mitigation objectives of the european union in terms of the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. in the pursuit of this goal , it is essential to also contribute to wider environmental objectives , and in particular the prevention of biodiversity loss , which is negatively impacted by the indirect land use change associated to the production of certain high-indirect land-use change-risk biofuels , bioliquids and biomass fuels. contributing to these climate and environmental objectives constitutes a deep and longstanding intergenerational concern for union citizens and the union legislator. sustainable biofuels , bioliquids and biomass fuels that co-generate valuable protein for animal and human consumption , and are deforestation-free , should be a building block of the decarbonisation of transport , within a reasonable limit preventing unwanted negative impacts on the availability of food and feed resources. member states should be put in an equal footing in their use of these sustainable bio fuels , bioliquids and biomass fuels , to reach the higher level of emission savings , under common limit.

### (32) expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target makes it unnecessary to use multipliers to promote certain renewable energy sources. this is because different renewable energy sources save different amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and , therefore , contribute differently to a target. renewable electricity should be considered to have zero emissions , meaning it saves 100% emissions compared to electricity produced from fossil fuels. this will create an incentive for the use of renewable electricity since renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels are unlikely to achieve such a high percentage of savings. electrification relying on renewable energy sources would therefore become the most efficient way to decarbonise road transport. in addition , in order to promote the use of advanced biofuels and biogas and renewable fuels of non-biological origin in the aviation and maritime modes , which are difficult to electrify , it is appropriate to keep the multiplier for those fuels supplied in those modes when counted towards the specific targets set for those fuels. ### (32) expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target makes it unnecessary to use multipliers to promote certain renewable energy sources except for the maritime and aviation sectors. this is because different renewable energy sources save different amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and , therefore , contribute differently to a target. renewable electricity should be considered to have zero emissions , meaning it saves 100% emissions compared to electricity produced from fossil fuels. this will create an incentive for the use of renewable electricity since renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels are unlikely to achieve such a high percentage of savings. electrification relying on renewable energy sources would therefore become the most efficient way to decarbonise road transport. in addition , in order to promote the use of advanced biofuels and biogas and renewable fuels of non-biological origin in the aviation and maritime modes , which are difficult to electrify , it is appropriate to keep the multiplier for those fuels supplied in those modes when counted towards the specific targets set for those fuels.
