(6) Liquid renewable fuels are likely to be required by the transport sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced 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, for example from cellulosic feedstocks and algae, as these also have the potential to provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change. Further incentives should be provided by setting a separate target for advanced biofuels in the transport sector of at least 2% in Directive 2009/28/EC. 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 frameworkshould be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework. In order to avoid market distortions and incentives for fraud, advanced biofuels should meet the same sustainability criteria as all other biofuels.

(10) The 5% limit set up in Article 3(4)d does not affect the Member States' freedom to arrange their own trajectory as to compliance with this prescribed share of conventional biofuels withConventional biofuels remain vital for the purpose of attaining the overall 10% target. As a consequence, of 10%. As they access to the market of the biofuels produced by the installare more readily available than advanced biofuels, they should cover at least 8% of final energy consumptions in operation before the end of 2013 remains fully open. Therefore this amending directive does not affect the legitimate expectations of the operators of such installationsthe transport section in 2020. The amendment of this Directive therefore does not affect the legitimate expectations of the operators of conventional biofuel production installations. Advanced biofuels should cover at least 2% of final energy consumption by 2020.
