Each fuel supplier has an obligation to ensure that the energy value derived from the number of fuels from renewable sources of non-biological origin and from the electricity from renewable sources used for electro-mobility supplied on the market in Romania and used in the transport sector, during the period 2024 - 2029, is at least equal to 0% in the year 2024; 0.5% in 2025; 1% in 2026; 2% in 2027; 3% in 2028 and 4.5% in 2029, from the energy content of all fuels put on the market in Romania in that year.

Every industrial consumer of hydrogen has an obligation to ensure that: a) starting from 2030, at least 50% will be fuel from renewable sources of non-biological origin or hydrogen with reduced carbon emissions 4 and at least 42% from renewable resources of non-biological origin; b) starting from 2035, at least 75% will be fuel from renewable sources of non-biological origin or hydrogen with low carbon emissions and at least 65% from renewable resources of non-biological origin.
