Negotiations were closed on two separated sustainability policies that EU member nations agreed to. This included improvements on what is called the 32% objective as well as a complete phaseout of palm oil use in certain sectors by 2030. First, the 32% objective refers to a member’s need to have 32% of their grid be supplied by renewable energy by the year 2030. Some environmental activists said this number was entirely too low, wishing the target to be made at a much higher level. Member states led by Germany held firm at the 32% level, allowing a 2023 review on progress made towards the eventual 32% goal. Second, the same negotiations included a policy to phase out the use of palm oil in biofuels starting in 2030. It is aimed to encourage the use of all-electric vehicles instead of the biofuel models already in use by many transportation systems throughout the EU. Southeast asian nations including Malaysia and Indonesia signalled their displeasure with the policy, as they are the major supplier of palm oil for all uses throughout the EU and other western nations. Additional talking points for the negotiations included the exemption of single home grids (read: rooftop solar) from the member obligations on overall grid system compliance with the 2030, 32% objective.
