Deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure: Fit for 55 package

On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented the 'fit for 55' package of proposals to help reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. The package includes a proposal to revise the 2014 Directive on alternative fuels infrastructure and turn it into a regulation. In the draft regulation, the Commission proposed binding targets for electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen refuelling points, electric charging for stationary aircraft at airports and on-shore power supply for ships at ports. The Council adopted its position on the proposal in June 2022. Parliament approved its negotiating position in plenary in October 2022. Inter-institutional negotiations started in November 2022 and a provisional agreement was reached on 28 March 2023. The agreement now needs to be formally approved by both institutions.
