(62) The European Strategy for a low- carbon mobility of July 2016 pointed out that food-based biofuels have a limited role in decarbonising the transport sector and should be gradually phased out and replaced by advanced biofuels. To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels. To support the market for advanced biofuels, restore investor confidence and minimise the overall indirect land-use change impacts, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed cropthe proportion of food- and feed-based biofuels and bioliquids that can be counted towards the Union targets set out in this Directive should be kept at 7% of overall consumption for the road and rail sector.

(63) Directive (EU) 2015/1513 of the European Parliament and of the Council23 called on the Commission to present without delay a comprehensive proposal for a cost-effective and technology-neutral post-2020 policy in order to create a long- term perspective for investment in sustainable biofuels with a low risk of causing indirect land-use change and in other means of decarbonising the transport sector. An ambitious 15% incorporation obligation on fuel suppliers can provide certainty for investors, help to decarbonise the transport sector and encourage the continuous development of alternative renewable transport fuels including advanced biofuels, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, and renewable electricity in transport. It is appropriate to set the obligation on fuel suppliers at the same level in each Member State in order to ensure consistency in transport fuel specifications and availability. As transport fuels are traded easily, fuel suppliers in Member States with low endowments of the relevant resources should be able to easily obtain renewable fuels from elsewhere. _________________ 23Directive (EU) 2015/1513 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 amending Directive 98/70/EC relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 239, 15.9.2015, p. 1).

ga) ‘Feed-based biofuels with a high sustainability indicator’ shall be defined as biofuels which: - are produced from cereals and other crops high in starch, sugars and oil plants - emit at least 60% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional fuels, following the calculation method set out in Article 28; and - produce high-value protein, other animal feed or cellulosic byproducts in the course of their production - are made from raw materials which comply and are consistent with the requirements and provisions of Article 93 of Regulation No 1306/2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy; or are certified to comply with an equivalent set of sustainability standards.

Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
With effect from 1 January 2021, Member States shall require fuel suppliers to include a minimum share of energy from advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, from renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, from waste-based fossil fuels and from renewable electricity in the total amount of transport fuels they supply forgradually increase the proportion of renewable energy in energy consumption for use on the market in the course of a calendar yeartransport purposes to at least 15% by 2030.
