AI Summary

A leaked European Commission impact assessment for the upcoming Renewable Energy Directive (RED IV) indicates a possible shift in post‑2030 renewable fuels policy. The draft “preferred package” would replace binding national renewable hydrogen mandates with a single EU‑wide target. It also provides more flexibility for crop‑based biofuels and prioritises advanced biofuels produced from European feedstocks. The proposal reflects a balance of energy security, cost, national flexibility and emissions reduction, though it may still change before the Commission publishes a formal proposal.
