85In that regard, it must be borne in mind, first, that the use of renewable energy sources for the production of biogas which national legislation such as that of which Chapter 3, Paragraph 3, of the 2011 SE rules forms part seeks ultimately to promote is, in principle, useful for the protection of the environment. Such legislation is intended, following on from the objectives pursued in that regard by Directive 2009/28, in particular Articles 17 and 18 thereof, the actual implementation of which it seeks to ensure, to contribute to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, which are amongst the main causes of climate change that the European Union and its Member States have pledged to combat (see, by analogy, judgment of 1 July 2014, Ålands Vindkraft, C‑573/12, EU:C:2014:2037, paragraph 78 and the case-law cited).
