(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.

(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.
