Last week the E Fuels Alliance, together with 17 associations including Hydrogen Europe, published a Joint letter on the Revision of the Energy Taxation Directive.
The signatories called for three key developments:
– For the European Member States to swiftly reach an agreement on the Revision of the ETD that incentivises the production and the use of Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuels.
– For the creation of an Implementing Act to allow stakeholders to participate in the technical discussions leading to a pragmatic and practical implementation of the Article 2(6).
– For the retention of the ten-year minimum tax rate of zero for sustainable fuels in the maritime and aviation sector. In order to provide additional financial relief, the signatories suggest using parts of the ETS revenues to financially support the aviation and maritime sector in their sustainable transition process.
