(64a) As a means to decarbonise the shipping sector BioLNG use should be promoted for use in sector. BioLNG produced form wastes through anaerobic digestion have high GHG savings potential. BioLNG, is a drop-in fuel for LNG powered ships, and the guarantee of origin system for biogas should be developed to allow grid injection of biomethane to meet the demand in ports.

(7) It is thus appropriate to establish a Union binding target of at least 2735% share of renewable energy. Member States should define their contribution to the achievement of this target as part of their Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans through the governance process set out in Regulation [Governance].

Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
Article 7 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4
For the calculation of a Member State's gross final consumption of energy from renewable energy sources, the contribution from biofuels and bioliquids, as well as from biomass fuels consumed in transport, if produced from food or feed crops, shall be no more than 7% of final consumption of energy in road and rail transport in that Member State. This limit shall be reduced to 3,80% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. The contribution from food and feed crop- based biofuels and bioliquids produced from oil crops, including palm oil, shall be reduced to 0% no later than 2020. Member States may set a lower limit and may distinguish between different types of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from food and feed crops, for instance by setting a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change.

Article 7 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 2
The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 32 to amend the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, but not to remove them. Each delegated act shall be based on an analysis of the latest scientific and technical progress, taking due account of the principles of the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC, in compliance with the Union sustainability criteria, supporting the conclusion that the feedstock in question does not create an additional demand for land and promoting the use of wastes and residues, while avoiding significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues, delivering substantial greenhouse gas emission savings compared to fossil fuels, based on a life cycle assessment of emissions including emissions from the land sector and possible displacement effects, and not creating risk of negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity.

Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
With effect from 1 January 2021, Member States shall require fuel suppliers to include a minimum share of energy from advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX, from renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, from waste-based fossil fuels and from renewable electricity in the total amount of transport fuels they supply for consumption or use on the market in the course of a calendar year.

Article 25 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. In order to facilitate the penetration of renewable energy in the transport sector, each Member State shall endeavour to gradually increase the share of renewable energy that fulfils the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria, supplied for transport from at least 10 % in 2020 to at least 15% in 2030, expressed in terms of national share of final energy consumption and calculated according to the methodology set out in Article 7.

Article 25 – paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from forestry biomass taken into account for the purposes referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 1 shall not be produced from roundwood greater than 10 centimetres in diameter and stumps, and shall only be made from the biomass fraction of wastes and residues from forestry and forest- based industries, namely bark, branches, leaves, needles, tree tops, saw dust, cutter shavings, black liquor, brown liquor, fibre sludge and lignin.

Recital 78
Recital 78
(78) Biomass fuels should be converted into electricity and heat in an efficient way in order to maximise energy security and greenhouse gas savings, as well as to limit emissions of air pollutants and minimise the pressure on limited biomass resources. For this reason, public support to installations with a fuel capacity equal to or exceeding 205 MW, if needed, should only be given to highly efficient combined power and heat installations as defined Article 2(34) of Directive 2012/27/EU. Existing support schemes for biomass- based electricity should however be allowed until their due end date for all biomass installations. In addition electricity produced from biomass in new installations with a fuel capacity equal to or exceeding 205 MW should only count towards renewable energy targets and obligations in the case of highly efficient combined power and heat installations. In accordance with State aid rules, Member States should however be allowed to grant public support for the production of renewables to installations, and count the electricity they produce towards renewable energy targets and obligations, in order to avoid an increased reliance on fossil fuels with higher climate and environmental impacts where, after exhausting all technical and economic possibilities to install highly efficient combined heat and power biomass installations, Member States would face a substantiated risk to security of supply of electricity.

Recital 101
Recital 101
(101) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely to achieve at least 2735% share of energy from renewable sources in the Union's gross final consumption of energy by 2030, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives.

The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 32 to amend the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, but not to remove them. Each delegated act shall be based on an analysis of the latest scientific and technical progress and market developments, taking due account of the principles of the waste hierarchy established in Directive 2008/98/EC and the cascading use principle, in compliance with the Union sustainability criteria, supporting the conclusion that the feedstock in question does not create an additional demand for land and promoting the use of wastes and residues, while avoiding significant distortive effects on markets for (by-)products, wastes or residues, delivering substantial greenhouse gas emission savings compared to fossil fuels, and not creating risk of negative impacts on the environment and biodiversitytaking into account displacement effects of other uses of the feedstocks concerned, and not creating risk of negative impacts on the environment and biodiversity. If the feedstock concerned is used for higher-value non-energy products, is limited in availability and/or cannot be substituted by other feedstocks, it should not be incentivised for direct energy use.

Every 2 years, the Commission shall carry out an evaluation of the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, in line with the principles set out in this paragraph. The first evaluation shall be carried out no later than 6 months after [date of entry into force of this Directive]. If appropriate, the Commission shall adopt delegated acts to amend the list of feedstocks in parts A and B of Annex IX in order to add feedstocks, but not to remove them. Biofuels made from feedstocks that have been removed by the Commission from the Annex IX list and that are used in existing installations prior to [the date of entry into force of this Directive] may be counted to national targets until 2025 provided that their capacity is not increased through new investments after the removal of the feedstock of the Annex IX.
