Recital 9
(9) To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overall indirect land use change impacts in the period to 2020, it is appropriate to limit the amount of biofuels and bioliquids obtained from food crops as set out in part A of Annex VIII to Directive 2009/28/EC and part A of Annex V to Directive 98/70/EC that can be counted towards targets set out in Directive 2009/28/EC. Without restricting the overall use of such biofuels, the share of biofuels and bioliquids produced from cereal and other starch rich crops, sugar and oil crops that can be counted towards the targets of Directive 2009/28/EC should be limited to the share of such biofuels and bioliquids consumed in 2011.deleted

(10) The 5% limit set up in Article 3(4)d does not affect the Member States' freedom to arrange their own trajectory as to compliance with this prescribed share of conventional biofuels within the overall 10% target. As a consequence, the access to the market of the biofuels produced by the installations in operation before the end of 2013 remains fully open. Therefore this amending directive does not affect the legitimate expectations of the operators of such installations.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 4
(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production or by bringing non- agricultural land into production in elsewhere. In the former case, the excess market outlet created by biofuel producers may result in higher yields, as acknowledged by the IFPRI report1 and the Impact Assessment of the Commission2. Biofuels produced from biomass which is a result of higher yield do not require additional land and therefore have no indirect land-use change effects. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore include provisions to address indirect land use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land________________________ 1 International Food Policy Research Institute: Assessing the Land Use Change Consequences of European Biofuel Policies.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change are significant, and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels. This is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, cereals, sugars and other starch containing crops accordingly.deleted

(6) Liquid renewable fuels are likely to be required by the transport sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. AdvancedConventional biofuels, such as those made from wastes and algae, provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change and do not compete directly for agricultural land for the food and feed markets. It is appropriate, therefore, to encourage greater production of such advanced biofuels as these are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop based biofuel technologies. Further incentives should be provided by increasing the weighting of advanced biofuels towards 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels. In this context, only advanced biofuels with low estimated indirect land use change impacts and high overall greenhouse gas savings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy frameworkAdvanced biofuels, such as those made from cellulosic feedstocks and algae, have the potential to provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change. It is appropriate, therefore, to encourage greater production of such advanced biofuels. Further incentives should be provided by increasing the weighting of advanced biofuels towards 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels by establishing a separate 2% target for advanced biofuels.

(8) The minimum greenhouse gas saving threshold for biofuels and bioliquids produced in new installations should be increased with effect from 1st July 2014 in order to improve their overall greenhouse gas balance as well as discouraging further investments in installations with low greenhouse gas savings performance. This increase provides for investment safeguards in biofuels and bioliquids production capacities in conformity with Article 19(6) second subparagraphshould be kept as provided by Directive 2009/28/EC, because the current provisions ensure an improved overall greenhouse gas balance.

Biomass resulting from yield increases that would not occur in the absence of demand from the biofuel industry as detailed in Part B of this Annex; B. Crop Intensification Analyses 1. A national scheme may certify biomass as Non-ILUC Biomass in an amount, for each type of cultivated crop that used 1% or more of the arable land of that Member State (or any other third country wishing to submit a national scheme), up to the amount by which the tonnage of such crop determined in Part B.4 exceeds the tonnage of such crop determined in Part B.3. 2. For each type of cultivated crop that used 1% or more of the arable land of that Member State (or any other third country wishing to submit a national scheme) in 2008, the state shall calculate the annual yield increase of the crop on its territory by calculating the compounded yield using a baseline three year rolling average and a final three year rolling average. (a) The baseline three year rolling average shall be the mean average in tonnage per hectare of that crop in 1997, 1998 and 1999. (b) The final three year rolling average shall be the mean average in tonnage per hectare of that crop in 2006, 2007 and 2008. (c) The implied annual yield shall be the yield increase (expressed as a percentage) that would result from increasing the yield from the baseline three year rolling average to the final three year rolling average over nine years. If this calculation results in zero or a negative number, the implied annual yield shall be zero for that crop. 3. Each Member State (or any other third country wishing to submit a national scheme) shall create a table for each type of cultivated crop that used 1% or more of the arable land of that state in 2008 in which the 2007 yield is assumed to be the final three year rolling average for that crop and then expected yields are calculated for that crop for each of the years from 2008 through 2020 by increasing the yield each year by the implied annual yield for that crop. Using this estimated yield for the relevant year, the Member State (or other state wishing to submit a national scheme)shall multiply this estimated yield by the actual acreage of arable land cultivated by that crop in that year. 4. The actual yield for a crop in each year shall be the Member State's (or other state wishing to submit a national scheme) final determination of average yield per hectare of a given crop on its territory. Using this actual yield for the relevant year, a state shall multiply this actual yield by the actual acreage of arable land cultivated by that crop in that year."
