NGOs, including ECODES and Transport & Environment, are urging Spain to adopt the Renewable Energy Directive (DER III) to achieve a 14.5% reduction in transport greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, with a proposed increase to 17.6%. While they support the heightened ambition, they caution against sub-targets that could encourage harmful biofuels and stress the need for stringent sustainability criteria, advocating for a focus on energy demand reduction and direct electrification in transport.
