Proposal for a directive
Recital 1
Recital 1
(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/EC9 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. It is estimated that the European market for fuels will remain heavily dependent on the availability of diesel fuels, with this being a key characteristic of that market. In order to address that heavy dependence, greater production of advanced biofuels should be encouraged in the EU.

(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 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. 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 woodland or agricultural land.

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 could 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 other starch containing crops accordingly. In order to avert this risk in the medium-term and long-term, research and development should be encouraged into the production of new forms of advanced biofuels that do not compete directly with food crops, such as ligno- cellulosic residues, which are one of the rare forms of biomass in large supply in the Member States.

(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, residues 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, othe percentage of biofuels for blending produced using food crops should, up to 2020, be limited to 5% of the target 10% of energy from renewable sources in the final energy consumption of the transport sector. 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. To that end, all innovative means of conversion should be encouraged as part of a European biofuel policy.

(7) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the 2012 Communication "Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe"11 and the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe, promoting integrated and diversified biorefineries across Europe12, enhanced incentives under Directive 2009/28/EC should be set in a way that gives preference to the use of biomass feedstocks that do not have a high economic value for other uses than biofuels. Ligno-cellulosic residues are one of the rare forms of biomass in large supply in Europe. The setting of a blending sub-target for ligno-cellulosic biofuels would provide investors with the visibility needed to build on their potential.

(8) The minimum greenhouse gas saving threshold for biofuels and bioliquids produced in new installations should be increased with effect from 1st July 2014 in order to improve their overall greenhouse gas balance as well as disencouraging further investments in installations with lowmore efficient greenhouse gas savings performance. This increaseA threshold set at 50% provides for investment safeguards in biofuels and bioliquids production capacities in conformity with Article 19(6) second subparagraph.
