Overview
Several tax mechanisms encourage the use of renewable energy. The Government herein focuses on the private sector, targeting companies and encouraging large investments. The Government has furthermore set a biofuel quota which obliges companies to ensure that biofuels make up a certain amount of the company’s total annual fuel sale.
