Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) In order to provide certainty for investment, Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC established that the impact of indirect land-use change on greenhouse gas emissions should be taken into account and necessary measures should be adopted in order to address this impact.

(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for the food, feed and fibre markets is diverted to biofuel production, the non-fuel demand will still need to be satisfied either through intensification of current production, which may result in biodiversity loss, water scarcity or soil erosion, water and soil pollution and loss of critical ecosystem services; or by bringing non-agricultural land into production elsewhere. The latter case represents indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of high carbon stock land it can lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions as well as to a loss of biodiversity. Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should therefore include provisions to address indirect land use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural land.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 5
(5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change are significant, and couldwill negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels. This is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, cereals, sugars and oFurthermore, biofuel production from food crops contributes to food price volatility. In order to reduce such emissions and mitigate such negative effects on food security, it is appropriate to set up the 5% limit laid down in Article 3(4)d as well as take into account indirect land-use change emissions when calculating the greenhouse gas emission savings required under ther starch containing crops accordinglyustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 6
(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. In this context, only advanced biofuels with low estimated indirect land use change impacts and high overall greenhouse gas savSustainability criteria are required for advanced biofuels in order to ensure that they do not result in biodiversity loss or ecosystem services loss and do not compete with food for land, water or other resources. In this context, the increased weightings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy frameworknot be implemented for specific advanced biofuels until the adoption of sustainability criteria at Union level.

Council position
Recital 15
(15) The estimated indirect land-use change emissions should be included in the reporting by the Commission of greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28counted towards the target in Article 7a(2) of Directive 98/70/EC and towards the target set out in Directive 2009/28/EC in order to provide incentives for the biofuels with low indirect land-use change impacts and to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the reduction target for life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make sure that Union targets for greenhouse gas emission savings and biofuels are meaningful and effectively met, indirect land-use change emissions should be taken into account when calculating the greenhouse gas emission savings required under the sustainability criteria set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC. Biofuels made from feedstocks that do not lead to additional demand for land, such as those from waste feedstocks, should be assigned a zero emissions factor.

Amendment 141 #
Council position
Recital 15 a (new)
(15a) The use of land for growing biofuel feedstocks should not result in the displacement of local and indigenous communities. Special measures to protect indigenous communities' land therefore need to be introduced.

Amendment 162 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
(9) To prepare for the transition towards advanced biofuels and minimise the overall indirect land use change impacts in the period to 2020, it is appropriate to limit the amount of biofuels and bioliquids obtained from food crops as set out in part A of Annex VIII to Directive 2009/28/EC and part A of Annex V to Directive 98/70/EC that can be counted towards targets set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC. Without restricting the overall use of such biofuels, the share of biofuels and bioliquids produced from cereal and other starch rich crops, sugar and oil crops that can be counted towards the targets of Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC should be limited to the share of such biofuels and bioliquids consumed in 2011.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the production and use of biofuels shall be calculated as: E = eec + el + eiluc + ep + etd + eu – esca – eccs – eccr – eee where E = total emissions from the use of the fuel; eec = emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials; el= annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by direct land-use change; eiluc= annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by indirect land-use change; ep = emissions from processing; etd = emissions from transport and distribution; eu = emissions from the fuel in use; esca = emission saving from soil carbon accumulation via improved agricultural management; eccs = emission saving from carbon capture and geological storage; eccr = emission saving from carbon capture and replacement; and eee = emission saving from excess electricity from cogeneration. Emissions from the manufacture of machinery and equipment shall not be taken into account."
