Recital 8
(8) The Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy introduces an ambitious objective of 300 GW of offshore wind and 40 GW of ocean energy across all the Union’s sea basins by 2050. To ensure this step change, Member States will need to work together across borders at sea-basin level. Member States should therefore jointly define the amount of offshore renewable generation to be deployed in line with maritime spatial planning within each sea basin by 2050, with intermediate steps in 2030 and 2040. These objectives should be reflected in the updated national energy and climate plans that will be submitted in 2023 and 2024 pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. In defining the amount, Member States should take into account the offshore renewable energy potential of each sea basin, environmental protection, climate adaptation and other uses of the sea, as well as the Union’s decarbonisation targets. In addition, Member States should increasingly consider the possibility of combiningendeavour offshore renewable energy generation with transmission lines interconnecting several Member States, in the form of hybrid projects or, at a later stage, a more meshed grid. This would allow electricity to flow in different directions, thus maximising socio- economic welfare, optimising infrastructure expenditure and enabling a more sustainable usage of the sea.

(22 a) The consumption of decarbonized hydrogen sourced from process gases that are treated while applying carbon capture and storage provides a complementary lever to decarbonise industry and therefore should be excluded from the denominator of the renewable fuel of non-biological origin target for industry so to avoid discouraging investments in these industrial decarbonisation processes.

(28a) While the Union’s renewable energy policy aims to contribute to achieving the Union climate goals, it also contributes to strengthening the Union’s strategic interests, namely technological sovereignty, security of supply, and protection against possible price volatility. The Union's strategic autonomy in the field of energy will ensure that Member States have the ability to guarantee a secure and affordable supply, regardless of exogenous changes such as geopolitical crises.

(30) Electromobility will play an essential role in decarbonising the transport sector. To foster the further development of electromobility in all transport modes, Member States should establish a credit mechanism enabling operators of charging points accessible to the public, where technically possible, to contribute, by supplying renewable electricity, towards the fulfilment of the obligation set up by Member States on fuel suppliers. While supporting electricity in transport through such a mechanism, it is important that Member States continue setting a high level of ambition for the decarbonisation of their liquid fuel mix in transport.

Recital 32
Recital 32
(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.

By 1 February 2019, the Commission shall adopt a delegated act in accordance with Article 35 to supplement this Directive by setting out the criteria for certification of low indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels and for determining the high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production area into land with high-carbon stock is observed. The report and the accompanying delegated act shall be based on the best available scientific data. By 1 September 2023, the Commission shall review the criteria laid down in the delegated act referred to in the fourth subparagraph based on the best available scientific data and shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 35 to amend such criteria, where appropriate, and to include a trajectory to gradually decrease the contribution to the Union target set in Article 3(1) and to the greenhouse gas emission reduction target referred to in Article 25(1), first subparagraph, point (a) of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production into land with high-carbon stock is observed. By 1 January 2023, the Commission shall submit to the European Parliament and to the Council an update of the report on the status of worldwide production expansion of the relevant food and feed crops. This update must include the most recent data from the last two years with regards to deforestation, particularly in South America, and must address other high risk commodities in the category of high indirect land use change risk feedstocks (in particular soy and their by-products).
