#Part4CM The project aims to promote the implementation of measures to mitigate the negative impact on the environment, in particular through legislative initiatives.

On June 30, the Verkhovna Rada supported a draft law on the use of liquid biofuels in the transportation sector. The purpose of the draft law is to create an effective legislative mechanism for the development of a competitive market for the production and use of bioethanol and biocomponents in transport in Ukraine.

What does the draft law provide for? - Establishment of a mandatory share of liquid biofuels (quotas) in the total annual sales of gasoline: from May 1, 2022 - at least 5% by volume - introduction of accounting and control of the content of biocomponents in gasoline; - establishing liability for non-compliance with quotas by business entities engaged in the production, import and sale of gasoline in the customs territory of Ukraine; - introducing requirements for compliance with sustainability criteria for biofuels starting from July 1, 2022. At the same time, the technical characteristics of fuels with biocomponents must comply with the requirements of technical regulations, harmonized European standards and other regulatory acts.

The RO-UA Partnership for Climate Change Mitigation project is funded by the European Union through the European Neighborhood Instrument and co-financed by the countries participating in the ENI CBC Romania-Ukraine 2014-2020 Program.
