  "text": "According to Article 4(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC, Member States are required to set their targets for the share of energy from renewable sources in 2020 in the following sectors:\nheating and cooling,\nelectricity,\ntransport.\nThe total of the three sectoral targets, translated into expected volumes (ktoe) including the planned use of flexibility measures, has to be at least as high as the expected amount of energy from renewable sources that corresponds to the Member State’s 2020 target (as reported in the last cell of Table 2).\nThe transport target, in addition, has to be compatible with the requirements of Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC for a 10 % share of renewable energy in transport. It should, however, be noted that the calculation of compliance with the target in Article 3(4) differs from the calculation of transport’s contribution to the Member State’s overall national target for renewable energy.\nFor the transport target, and not for the overall target:\nAmong petroleum products, only petrol and diesel count towards the denominator. This means that the kerosene/jet fuel used in aviation and the fuel oil used in shipping do not count (though the diesel used by some trains and some inland waterway vessels does),\nBiofuels from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material and ligno-cellulosic material count double towards the numerator,\nElectricity from renewable sources used in road vehicles counts 2,5 times towards the numerator and the denominator.\nAccording to Article 3(4)(c) of Directive 2009/28/EC to calculate the contribution of electricity produced from renewable sources and consumed in electric vehicles, Member States may choose to use either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Community, or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in their own country, as measured two years before the year in question. For the estimation of the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Community, Member States may use the future scenarios prepared by/for the European Commission .\nAs well as setting sectoral targets for 2020, Member States must also describe the trajectory that they expect the growth of renewable energy use in each sector to follow between 2010 and 2020. The sectoral renewable targets in electricity and heating and cooling and the sectoral trajectories are estimations.\nTable 3 requires Member States to furnish the information referred to above.\nWhen filling in the table, Member States will wish to draw on the more detailed breakdown of expected renewable energy use required by Table 9. Calculation Tables 4a and 4b provide guidance in preparing Table 3.\nThe Directive requires Member States to publish and notify to the Commission their forecast for the use of the flexibility measures by 31 December 2009. Member States will wish to draw on this forecast in filling in the relevant parts of Table 4a. Member States are not, however, required to use the same figures in their Action Plans as they gave in their forecast documents. In particular, they may wish to adjust the figures in the light of the information contained in other Member States’ forecast documents.\nTable 3\nNational 2020 target and estimated trajectory of energy from renewable sources in heating and cooling, electricity and transport\n(Calculation Tables 4a and 4b are expected to guide the preparation of Table 3)\nShare of renewable energy in heating and cooling: gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources for heating and cooling (as defined in Articles 5(1)b) and 5(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC) divided by gross final consumption of energy for heating and cooling.
