(13) Article 19(8) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7d(8) of Directive 98/70/EC include provisions for encouraging the cultivation of biofuels in severely degraded and heavily contaminated land as an interim measure for mitigating against indirect land-use change. These provisions are no longer adequate in their current form and need to be integrated in the approach laid out in this Directive to ensure that overall actions for minimising emission from indirect land-use change remain coherent. Support must nevertheless continue to be provided for the use of degraded land to grow biofuels, where this does not cause any indirect land use change.

(15a) The use of electricity from renewables should be encouraged in the transport sector. Member States should therefore work to increase over time the percentage of electricity from renewables in the energy sector, while at the same time encouraging the market penetration of electric vehicles. Member States should also be allowed to channel financial resources currently deployed with a view to achieving, either wholly or in part, their share of energy from biofuels produced from cereal and other starch-rich crops, sugars, oil crops and other land-based energy crops into renewable energies – in particular wind, solar, wave and geothermal energy – that have demonstrated their renewability and sustainability.

(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.

(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.
