Further action required to meet 2020 fuel quality targets despite 3.7% drop in greenhouse gas intensity since 2010
|
|
The Commission today adopted its 2018 Fuel Quality Report
based on the data submitted by EU countries. According to the data provided, the average greenhouse gas intensity of fuels in the 28 reporting Member States had fallen by 3.7% compared to the 2010 baseline. The year-on-year progress achieved compared to 2017 was limited to a 0.3% decrease. Progress varied greatly across Member States, but almost all need to take swift action to meet the 2020 target of 6%.
