REGULATORY ASSISTANCE PROJECT THE PERFECT FIT | 37 What should the EU do to make the policy proposals better? Deployment of biomass heating represents a key risk to energy system decarbonisation which is best tackled head on.44 We continue to urge revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) to ensure it helps the EU to achieve its climate goals and does not damage biodiversity and human health. In particular, we propose three design features for a mandatory renewable heat target: • Caps on the use of unsustainable bioenergy. • Allowing the renewable portion of electricity to be counted towards the target: the current renewable heat accounting framework does not allow for this. • In light of the potential absence of a tight cap on unsustainable bioenergy for heating, a multiplier for non-biomass renewable heat technologies (including heat pumps, geothermal and solar thermal) should be introduced. Such a multiplier would encourage Member States to put in place policy measures to support strategically important, non-bioenergy heating technologies. Together, these requirements should ensure that unsustainable biomass is not deployed as a solution in place of more sustainable alternatives such as heat pumps and energy efficiency. What should Member States do now? Member States may wish to introduce their own targets for renewable heat and heat pump deployment in the interim period. These targets could include maximum levels of bioenergy which would count towards such a target. Heat pump-specific targets – such as the UK’s 600,000 heat pumps per annum – can provide certainty to the industry and support investment, but such targets will need to be supported by a complete policy package which includes the development of installer skills. With regards to heat pump deployment in district heating networks, Member States and cities can also actively introduce district heating-specific targets (e.g. number of low-temperature district heating networks or homes connected to district heating by 2030). Member States can also provide support for the development of new low-temperature district heating and cooling networks and the modernization of existing networks to support the integration of renewables using large heat pumps. Moreover, Member States can help promote and strengthen national and local heating and cooling planning by supporting the timely identification of the renewable and waste heat resource potentials and making the accompanying data easily accessible. Member States with specific concerns over biomass deployment could look to guide future development of the RED to protect against risk of use of unsustainable bioenergies. 44 Scott, D., Rosenow, J. & Thomas, S.
