This is almost twice less than the 10% target set in the Renewable Resources Directive. commitment for 2020.
According to data from the Department of Statistics, in 2020. – not the first year that Lithuania does not meet its obligations – 2019. The share of renewable energy sources amounted to 4.04% in 2018. – 4.33 %, and in 2017 – 4.29 percent.
According to Eurostat, Lithuania is one of the worst performing countries in complying with the obligations of this directive. only Cyprus achieved a lower share of renewable energy in transport.
According to Martynas Nagevičius, president of LAIEK, in the “Renewable Energy Development Progress Report” prepared by the European Commission (EC) last fall, the EC addressed the most lagging countries in the EU – Cyprus, Luxembourg and Lithuania – without waiting for sanctions from the European Commission and entering into negotiations with countries that go beyond the EU targets for the purchase of statistical transfers.
This would mean that Lithuania would have to acquire the missing part of statistical transfers from countries that achieve a surplus of 10%. commitment, for example, from Sweden or Finland.
“Lithuania has had experience selling statistical transfers to Luxembourg, when the successful development of biofuels in the district heating sector has exceeded renewable targets in other sectors (other than transport), but this will be the first time that the government Lithuanian has to look for statistical transfers in the budget, “stressed M. Nagevičius.
According to the head of LAIEK, the main reasons that prevented the achievement of the renewable energy targets were the insufficient mixing of biofuels with the fuels sold in Lithuania, when part of the fuels were sold on the market without biodiesel in 2020, in violation of The renewable energies. Law.
Another reason is the late implementation of the state incentive mechanism, which has made the development of electric cars and biogas vehicles extremely slow.
