Renewable Transport Fuel Policy 2025-2027

The Minister for Transport has published the Renewable Fuels for Transport Policy Statement 2025 – 2027.

The Renewable Transport Fuel Policy 2025-2027 sets out a pathway for achievement of Climate Action Plan biofuel targets as well as delivery of the targets and requirements for renewable energy share in transport under the European Union Renewable Energy Directive, including EU requirements for sustainability certification and greenhouse gas reduction.

The Policy aligns with broader national climate and energy policy and provides certainty for economic operators and stakeholders to support compliance with the obligation, delivering the emission reduction targets within the transport sector

The Department updates the policy every two years to ensure it remains agile and responsive to market trends and other variables impacting on the achievement of the objectives set out.

This latest iteration of the policy explores potential for further deployment of renewable fuels for all transport modes, incentivises increased supply of advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin, and seeks to strengthen sustainability assurance mechanisms within EU frameworks and continue to ensure policy is grounded on latest research and market developments. The policy contains 19 actions aimed at delivering on the objectives set out over the next two years.
