(5a) The rollout of hybrid heat pumps, that can use both heat as an energy source, as well as gas, should be incentivized within the Renewable Energy Directive criteria to achieve the 2030 and 2050 climate targets. It gives the flexibility to use warmth as an energy source and gas as a transitional energy source towards 2030 climate targets, as well as green gas and hydrogen gas towards the 2050 climate targets. Innovative technologies, such as hybrid heat pumps, need to be developed and used within the criteria of the revised Renewable Energy Directive, as they can be used as a transition technology towards the 2030 climate goals as well as giving a contribution to the 2050 climate targets.

(29) The use of renewable fuels and renewable electricity in transport can contribute to the decarbonisation of the Union transport sector in a cost-effective manner, and improve, amongst other, energy diversification in that sector while promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Union economy and reducing reliance on energy imports. With a view to achieving the increased target for greenhouse gas emission savings defined by the Union, the level of renewable energy supplied to all transport modes in the Union should be increased. Expressing the transport target as a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target would stimulate an increasing use of the most cost-effective and performing fuels, in terms of greenhouse gas savings, in transport. In addition, a greenhouse gas intensity reduction target would stimulate innovation and set out a clear benchmark to compare across fuel types and renewable electricity depending on their greenhouse gas intensity. Complementary to this, increasing the level of the energy-based target on advanced biofuels and biogas and introducing a target for renewable fuels of non-biological origin would ensure an increased use of the renewable fuels with smallest environmental impact in transport modes that are difficult to electrify. The development of advanced biofuels in all modes of transport in line with Article 29 (2) to (7) and the criteria set out in Article 28(6), should be based on the previous assessments of potential additional feedstocks to be listed in Annex IX, in particular in view to the necessity of feedstocks that have been previously found to not fit the criteria for inclusion into Annex IX to the principles set out in the third subparagraph of Article 28(6). This stresses the need for an effective use of advanced biofuels to the whole European industry and makes sure the right cascading principle and waste hierarchy is being used for advanced biofuels. The achievement of those targets should be ensured by obligations on fuel suppliers as well as by other measures included in [Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport - FuelEU Maritime and Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport]. Dedicated obligations on aviation fuel suppliers should be set only pursuant to [Regulation (EU) 2021/XXX on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport].

Article 15a – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1
2. Member States shall introduce measures in their building regulations and codes and, where applicable, in their support schemes, to increase the share of electricity and heating and cooling from renewable sources in the building stock, including national measures relating to substantial increases in renewables self- consumption, renewable energy communities and local energy storage, in combination with energy efficiency improvements relating to cogeneration and passive, nearly zero-energy and zero- energy buildings and taking into account innovative technologies such as hybrid heat pumps for both the 2030 and 2050 climate targets.

4. In order to achieve the indicative share of renewable energy set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall promote the use of renewable heating and cooling systems and equipment, including innovative technologies such as hybrid heat pumps to reach the 2030 and 2050 climate targets. To that end, Member States shall use all appropriate measures, tools and incentives, including, among others, energy labels developed under Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council26 , energy performance certificates pursuant to Directive 2010/31/EU, or other appropriate certificates or standards developed at national or Union level, and shall ensure the provision of adequate information and advice on renewable, highly energy efficient alternatives as well as on financial instruments and incentives available to promote an increased replacement rate of old heating systems and an increased switch to solutions based on renewable energy.; __________________ 26 Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2017 setting a framework for energy labelling and repealing Directive 2010/30/EU (OJ L 198, 28.7.2017, p. 1).
