(1a) The global demand for agricultural commodities and the volatile market situation can only be counteracted with an increase in the crop yields. In EU 12 the full potential regarding crop yields has not yet been realized and on arable land not farmed. Biofuels production from arable crops in the EU reduces the proteins deficit stabilizes the market and raises the EU agricultural production capacity. The jobs related to the EU biofuels consumption reach a number of about 220,000 in the EU.

(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% targetby introducing a separate target for advanced biofuels of at least 2% 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 savings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework.

(1) Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/777/EC and 2003/30/EC requires Member States to ensure that the share of energy from renewable energy sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10% of their final energy consumption. The blending of biofuels is one of the methods available for Member States to meet this target, and is expected to be the main contributor. Global demand for agricultural commodities is growing and market volatility is expected to increase in future.
