(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 bylong-term decarbonisation of transport in line with the 60 % reduction target by 2050 expressed in the 2011 Commission white paper on transport and also in line with the requirements of the Paris Agreement requires a wide use of all renewable fuels that deliver on the EU decarbonisation targets, taking into account the expected need for liquid and gaseous fuels in particular with regard to shipping, aviation and HDVs. Complementary to the promotion of greater market penetration of advanced biofuels. To prepa, it is there for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overalle necessary to distinguish between on the one hand first generation biofuels with high GHG efficiency and a low risk of indirect land- use change impacts, it is appropriate to reduce the amount of biofuels and bioliquids produced from food and feed crops that can be counted towards the Union target set out in this Directivethat shall play a role in the decarbonisation of transport and on the other hand the ones which don´t meet these criteria. Further, measures should be taken to phase down the use of feedstocks that drive deforestation or peatland drainage as a component of biofuels as soon as possible. The life-cycle assessment of biofuels also should take into consideration their role to play in the circular economy, which includes inter alia the supply of high-protein animal feed that is chronically short in the EU and otherwise would have to be imported.

Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
For the calculation of a Member State’s gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources, the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids, as well as from biomass fuels consumed in transport, if produced from food or feed crops, shall be no more than 7% of final consumption of energy in road and rail transport in that Member State. This limit shall be reduced to 3,8% in 2030not include bio-fuels that either foallowing the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. Member States may set a lower limit and may distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops, for instance by setting a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change. under the definition set out in Article 2(u) or have GHG emissions savings calculated according to Article 28(1) of at least 70% in 2021 or 80% in 2030 and are produced from feedstocks obtained according to Article 93 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/20131a ____________________ 1a OJ L347, 20.12.2013, p549-607
Amendment 482 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 3 a (new)
Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 3 a (new)
The contribution of transport fuels from feedstocks that drive deforestation or peatland conversation and their 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 deforestation and peatland conversation is halted. Such limit may be amended on the basis of a report by the European Commission once correspondent effective prevention policies are put in place.
Amendment 548 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph -1 (new)
Article 25 – paragraph -1 (new)
–1. Each Member State shall ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport gradually increases 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.

Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
However, electricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity (i) that comes into operation after or at the same time ascan be fully counted as renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin, if the installation producing the renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non- biological origin andis (ii) is not connected to the grid, can be fully counted asdirectly to an installation generating renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin(ii) connected to an electricity grid point while using only renewable energy surplus in a way to prevent renewable energy curtailment due to inefficiencies in the power grid on one or more voltage levels. In order to provide adequate proof for point (ii) the Commission shall provide guidance and establish a procedure on how to provide this proof by 2019.
