Amendment 67 #
(6 a) Biofuels that are the result of protein production can be used and valued as first-generation biofuels, not only they have a positive impact on arable land, the environment and greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector, but they are also part of a circular economy since the co-products are thus recycled; the co-products from these crops also enable the European Union to be less dependent on imports and free up arable land in third countries;

Proposal for a directive
Recital 25 a (new)
(25 a) In order to facilitate the penetration of renewable energy in the transport sector, each Member State shall endeavour to gradually increase the share of renewable energy supplied for transport from at least 10% in 2020 to at least 15% in 2030, expressed in terms of national share of final energy consumption and calculated according to the methodology set out in Article 7.

Amendment 249 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point ee a (new)
(ee a) ‘highly sustainable crop based biofuels’ should be defined as biofuels that - are produced from cereals, other starch- rich crops, sugars and oil crops, and - save at least 70% GHG emissions compared to fossil fuel according to the methodology in article 28 (1) from 2021, increasing to at least 80% by 2030; and - are produced from feedstocks obtained in accordance with the requirements and standards under the provisions referred to Article 93 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy; or are certified to comply with an equivalent set of sustainability standards;

Amendment 313 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 a (new)
Both the gradual reduction to 3.8% in 2030 and the possibility for Members States to set lower limits shall not apply to biofuels produced from protein crops as co-products. For the latter, Member States shall be entitled to implement incentive measures to favour their use, for example by setting a specific obligation of incorporation within the limit of 7%, or beyond that limit pending the effective availability of advanced biofuels.

Amendment 314 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 a (new)
The contribution of transport fuels from palm oil and its derivatives to the share of renewables in transport should be limited to a maximum of [1] % of the final consumption of energy in transport until global peatland conversion is halted. Such limit may be amended on the basis of a report by the European Commission effective policies are put in place to prevent global peatland conversion.
