Key changes introduced by RED III

María Erlemann, senior sustainability expert at SURE, explained the main changes that RED III introduces in sustainability criteria and emissions reduction:

  • Expanding the scope: new supply chain actors and more types of biomass are included.

  • New requirements in traceability and records: greater document control and updating of the data provided will be necessary.

  • Tools to facilitate complianceSURE is developing specific forms and technical guides to help operators adapt to the new requirements without unnecessary complications.

“The main objective is to facilitate the transition by minimizing administrative burdens and ensuring compliance in an agile and transparent manner,” Erlemann emphasized.

Spain is preparing the new regulatory framework

Cristina Tapia, head of the Renewable Energy Sub-Directorate at MITECO, provided an update on the processing of the new Royal Decree that will adapt RED III to the national framework. In her presentation, she detailed the following:

  • What stage is the approval process at?.

  • How the sector's claims are being integrated after the public consultation.

  • What measures are being taken to simplify the new obligations, avoiding duplication and unnecessary burdens.

Tapia highlighted that Spain is a country with low forestry and agricultural risk, which will allow for some flexibility in the application of the regulations.
