Overview
Using renewable energy sources in transportation (RES-T) is supported by several specific measures. RES-T is supported for private citizens, the private sector and the public sector. Support is usually in the form of subsidies for vehicles with low or zero emissions using renewable energy sources or other advanced technologies and in the form of a quota for biofuels and RES usage in transportation (the national target for usage of biofuels and renewable energy sources in transportation). The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan for the Republic of Croatia for the period 2021-2030 sets a national RES target of 14.0% in the direct consumption of energy in transport.
Summary of support schemes
- Subsidy for the purchase of public transportation buses with low CO2 emissions – The second call for co-financing the purchase of buses for city public transportation services serves pre-determined public transportation companies in the Republic of Croatia for the purpose of increasing the usage of RES or low CO2 vehicles in their fleet.
- Subsidy for the purchase of energy efficient vehicles – The Public call for co-financing of energy efficient vehicles serves private citizens, the private sector, and the public sector for the purpose of purchasing RES or very low-emissions vehicles and increasing the usage of RES in transportation in the Republic of Croatia.
- Biofuel quota - The national target for usage of biofuels and renewable energy sources in transportation.
- Support for RES-T infrastructure – The Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (FZOEU) also publishes a public call for co-financing of the development of the alternative fuels infrastructure (RES-T infrastructure).
