OPINION on the proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the promotion of energy from renewable sources, and repealing Council Directive (EU) 2015/652

(4a) The Directive must support and protect investments in bioenergy by ensuring stability of the regulatory environment, which was the initial impetus for investment in decarbonisation. Biofuel producers should continue to be allowed to count towards the reduction potential of a given biofuel the recovered biogenic CO2 from the fermentation process which replaces fossil-origin CO2.

(29a) Furthermore, biofuels from agricultural raw materials are a cost- effective tool for reducing emissions in existing and future light and heavy transport, given its current scope and the lifetime of vehicles, so their participation should not be limited only to transport sectors which cannot be electrified. In Delegated Regulation EC 2019/807 of 13 March 2019 on high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock, the Commission confirmed that European biofuels from agricultural raw materials are not drivers of deforestation. Only biofuels from feedstock with a high indirect land-use change risk need to be phased out. The existing limit should therefore be revised in such a way as to give each Member State the necessary flexibility with regard to the increased reduction targets and the use of RES, which will allow Member States to exercise their right to use their own energy resources as laid down in the Treaty. Each Member State should be able to set its own share of biofuels from agricultural raw materials provided that at Union level the share does not exceed 7% of final energy consumption in the transport sector.

(32a) Furthermore, in order to exploit the GHG emission reduction potential of biofuels, efforts to increase their share in standard fuels should be supported, including through the urgent implementation at EU level of the E10 standard for motor gasoline, containing up to 10% (by volume) blended bioethanol, and by promoting the use of higher blends in motor gasoline and diesel.

(38a) Adequate anti-fraud provisions must be laid down, in particular in relation to used cooking oil (UCO) given the widespread mixing of palm oil. As the detection and prevention of fraud is essential to prevent unfair competition and rampant deforestation in third countries, full and certified traceability of these raw materials should be implemented.

18. For the purposes of the calculations referred to in point 17, the emissions to be divided shall be eec + el + esca + those fractions of ep, etd, eccs and eccr that take place up to and including the process step at which a co-product is produced. In the case of eccr CO2 from fermentation that is captured and re-used for replacing fossil- based CO2 shall be considered an emission saving that is entirely allocated to the biofuel or bioliquid resulting from fermentation. If any allocation to co- products has taken place at an earlier process step in the life-cycle, the fraction of those emissions assigned in the last such process step to the intermediate fuel product shall be used for those purposes instead of the total of those emissions. In the case of biogas and biomethane, all co- products that do not fall under the scope of point 7 shall be taken into account for the purposes of that calculation. No emissions shall be allocated to wastes and residues. Co- products that have a negative energy content shall be considered to have an energy content of zero for the purposes of the calculation. Wastes and residues including all wastes and residues included in Annex IX shall be considered to have zero life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions up to the process of collection of those materials irrespectively of whether they are processed to interim products before being transformed into the final product. Residues that are not included in Annex IX and fit for use in the food or feed market shall be considered to have the same amount of emissions from the extraction, harvesting or cultivation of raw materials, eec as their closest substitute in the food and feed market that is included in the table in part D. In the case of biomass fuels produced in refineries, other than the combination of processing plants with boilers or cogeneration units providing heat and/or electricity to the processing plant, the unit of analysis for the purposes of the calculation referred to in point 17 shall be the refinery;
