The Programme Support Action (PSA) on ID issuing and data collection for alternative fuels (IDACS) has been set-up by the European Commission to support Member States in setting up data collecting for alternative fuels and make the data available through the National Access Points and to develop an effective, EU-wide coordination mechanism to assign unique identification codes to CPOs and EMSPs. The PSA has a duration of three years (2019-2021) and its Consortium consist of 15 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain.
The Consortium mandatorily have to collect data related to alternative fuels infrastructure, namely electric charging points and hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). Other alternative fuels, such as CNG, LNG, LPG and highly-blended biofuels are optional.
