In specific, the government has reached important targets with renewable energies, although it failed to meet the 2020 target fully. This makes questionable even the reach of them of 2030. Regarding the above situation, analysing in deep detail, we see that minor progress has been made related to biofuel and bioenergy. Then, primarily become to understand their potential, the opportunities offered, and identify the recommended measures to be undertaken. Developments that make us first identify the legal and regulatory framework on the production of green electricity in Albania and the option of its use for heating. In contemporary, the analysis will focus on the identity of the measures that can lead to the green target in transport, based on the initiative for a long time passed to parliament but without achieving a practical result. The above will be based on daily practical experience and analysis, focusing on the latest updates of pertinent legal, sub-legal, and regulatory and policy frameworks. Further, it will be complete with the understanding of the factual situation in the country, based on some rapid comparative references to similar aspects in the countries of the region. All will follow with the drawing of the take of the summary conclusions and our recommendation for needed intervention proposes regarding the efficiency put in practice of biofuels and bioenergy projects to fulfil the green target through the improvement of the energy mix in the country.
