My Department has undertaken two public consultations on the draft Renewable Transport Fuel Policy Statement 2025-2027, involving the transition to renewable energy in transport and setting out a policy pathway for delivery of the 2030 transport targets set out in the Climate Action Plan as agreed by Government, as well as the targets and requirements under the European Renewable Energy Directive.

The draft Policy was presented to stakeholders at a webinar on 9 May 2025 and subsequently published for consultation for a period of 2 weeks. This consultation closed on 23 May 2025, with 21 submissions made. Following consideration of the responses to the consultation, a report of the submissions will be published on my Department’s website along with the final Renewable Transport Fuel Policy 2025-2027 towards the end of Q2 2025.

A consultation to inform the development of the policy was run for 7 weeks over December 2024 and January 2025. A report summarising the 53 submissions received for this consultation was published alongside the draft Policy on 9 May 2025, and is available on gov.ie: .
