Summary of support schemes

The current goal foresees 8% of biofuels, of which 0,8% advanced biofuels in 2019. The competent authority is the GSE and the obligated parties are all those who feed gasoline or diesel in the system. To monitor the compliance with the biofuelquota certificates are released. One certificate corresponds to 10 Gcal of biofuel or 5 Gcal of advanced biofuel. Producers of advanced biomethane or advanced biofuels other than biomethane are entitled to receive a premium of € 375 for every CIC that they would be entitled receive if the biofuel is released for consumption in the transport sector. Producers of advanced biomethane destined to transport can sell the produced biomethane to GSE (“ritiro”) through a simplified procedure.

Technologies

Biodiesel, biomethane, bioethanol and biohydrogen are eligible.
