Biofuel companies: 12 months to meet new 2026 consumption target

Royal Decree 5/2026 amends the biofuel sales or consumption target for 2026, establishing a new threshold that must be met. This objective is part of the environmental and energy policy framework. The regulation introduces a second transitional provision setting a 12-month period to adapt compliance with the target, starting from the entry into force of the royal decree (Art. 3.b, Additional Provision 1.d).

In 2 key points

  1. New biofuel consumption target for 2026 (art. 3.b)
  2. 12-month deadline to adapt compliance with the target (disp. ad. 1.d)

How it affects those involved

Companies marketing biofuels must adjust their consumption plans to reach the new 2026 target. Production or distribution plant managers must review their business plans and projections.
