(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 likelyanticipated that the 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 accordinglyIn order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate for the Commission to study further the impact of different groups of crops on both direct and indirect land use change.

(5a) If, on the basis of further data collection, studies, and effective modelling the Commission considers a limitation on the production of biofuels from certain crops appropriate, an amendment to Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC may be brought forward. The effectiveness of such modelling should be supported by clear scientific and economic data.

(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 savings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework.

(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 within the overall 10% target, on conventional biofuels, should not affect the Member States' ability to comply with overall 10% target, as no trajectory to meet the 5% sub-target has been prescribed therein. As a consequence, the access to the market of the biofuels produced by the installations 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 installations.

(12) The Commission should review the methodology for estimating land-use change emission factors included in Annexes VIII and V to Directives 2009/28/EC and 98/70/EC respectively in the light of adaptation to technical and scientific progress. To this end, and if warranted by the latest available scientific evidence, the Commission should consider the possibility of revising the proposed crop group indirect land-use change factors, as well as introducing factors at further levels of disaggregation and including additional values should new biofuel feedstocks come to market.

(3) Article 17 of Directive 2009/28/EC establishes sustainability criteria that biofuels and bioliquids need to comply with in order to be counted towards the targets in the Directive and to qualify for inclusion in public support schemes. These criteria include requirements on the minimum greenhouse gas emission savings that biofuels and bioliquids need to achieve compared to fossil fuels. Identical sustainability criteria are established for biofuels under Article 7b of Directive 98/70/EC. These criteria should be supplemented with safeguards to ensure cascade of use and respect of waste- hierarchy.

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, sugars and cereals and other starch-rich crops accordinglyfor the Commission to undertake further research, in consultation with relevant stakeholders and Member States, on the impact of different groups of food, feed and energy crops on direct and indirect land- use change for inclusion in its review report.

(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 agricultural land. The aim of this Directive should be to tackle these problems and promote the use of non- food feedstocks as biofuel feedstocks.

(7) 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 emission 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 research, development and production of such advanced biofuels as they are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop-based biofuel technologies. Each Member State should promote the consumption of such advanced biofuels, through setting non-legally binding sub-targets at national level within the obligation of ensuring that the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10 % of the final consumption of energy in transport in that Member State. It is also appropriate for Member States to report on their achievements towards such national sub- targets in 2020, a synthesis report of which should be published, in order to assess the effectiveness of the measures introduced by this Directive in reducing the risk of indirect land-use change greenhouse gas emissions through the promotion of advanced biofuels. Such advanced biofuels and their promotion are expected to continue to play an important role in the decarbonisation of transport and the development of low-carbon transport technologies beyond that date.

(10) A greater use of electricity from renewable sources is a means of addressing many of the challenges in the transport sector as well as in other energy sectors. It is therefore appropriate to provide additional incentives to stimulate the use of electricity from renewable sources in the transport sector, and to increase the multiplication factors for the calculation of the contribution from electricity from renewable sources consumed by electrified rail transport and electric road vehicles so as to enhance their deployment and market penetration.

(6b) In all Member States, conventional and advanced biofuels must be available on the market at a consistent and high quality. To help achieve this, the Commission should, as a matter of urgency, give a clear mandate to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) for preparing technical performance standards for advanced biofuels and final fuel blends and, where necessary, for revising conventional biofuel standards to ensure that the quality of the final fuel product will not reduce the CO2 emissions performance or the overall operational performance of vehicles.

(14a) In order to permit adaptation to innovative and scientific progress of Directive 2009/28/EC and Directive 98/70/EC and for creating certainty for investments, the European Union should encourage the use of biofuels with the highest GHG savings, being the driver for the biofuels policy in Europe. Therefore, the methodology to achieve a total assessment of the life cycle of CO2 savings of individual biofuels should be amended by including the CO2 savings during production of the finished fuel, as each biofuel (whole or partial) will have a different impact on the finished fuel.

To that effect, each Member State shall set a national target, which it shall endeavour to achieve. A reference value for this target is 0,5 percentage points in energy content of the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 referred to in the first subparagraph, to be met with biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, and which shall be considered to be twice their energy content in accordance with point (f) of this subparagraph and part A of Annex IXhis target shall be 0.5% of the final consumption of energy in transport in 2020, with the intention of increasing to 2.5% by 2030. In addition, biofuels made from feedstocks not listed in Annex IX that were determined to be wastes, residues, non- food cellulosic material or ligno-cellulosic material by the competent national authorities and are used in existing installations prior to the adoption of Directive 2014/…/EU+ of the European Parliament and of the Council*, may be counted towards the national target. Member States may set a national target lower than the reference value of 0,5 percentage points, based on one or more of the following grounds: (i) objective factors such as the limited potential for the sustainable production of biofuels produced from feedstocks and other fuels, listed in part A of Annex IX, or the limited availability of such biofuels at cost efficient prices on the market, taking into account the assessment contained in the Commission report referred to in Article 3(1) of Directive 2014/…/EU. (ii) the specific technical or climatic characteristics of the national market for transport fuels, such as the composition and condition of the road vehicle fleet; or (iii) national policies allocating commensurate financial resources to incentivising the use of electricity from renewable energy sources in transport. The Commission shall publish: – the national targets of the Member States and, where applicable, the grounds for differentiation of their national target as compared to the reference value, notified in accordance with Article 4(2) of Directive 2014/…/EU+; – a synthesis report on Member States' achievements towards their national targets. __________________ +OJ: please insert the number of this Directiv31 December 2016 may be counted towards the national target in order to take into account investments already made.
