(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 and residues, by bacteria, 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.

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 ofsetting a separate target of at least 2% for advanced biofuels towards 10% targetmanufactured for the transport setctor in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels. In this context, ontechnologically 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 frameworkshould be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework. However, in order to avoid disrupting the market and creating incentives for manipulation, advanced biofuels should be subject to the same sustainability criteria as apply to all other biofuels.

(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. 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.

Part A. Estimated indirect land-use change emissions from biofuels Feedstock group Estimated Cereals and 12 other starch rich crops Sugars 13 Oil crops 55 Biofuels produced by conversion of indirect land-use vegetable starches, sugars and/or fatty change emissions acids from cultivation will be considered (gCO2eq/MJ) to have estimated indirect land-use change emissions which shall be established by the Commission for each legal year. For the estimation of indirect land-use change emissions the following rules shall be applied: For the estimation of gross annual emissions from carbon stock changes caused by indirect land-use change, Egross iluc global, the following rule shall be applied: Egross iluc global = (LUCglobal - ∑ dLUC) x ((CSRW - CSAW) x 3,664) where LUCglobal = Global land use change in the year preceding the year of biofuel production (reference year) (estimated as area units (ha)); ∑ dLUCglobal = Accumulated global direct land use changes for biofuel production in the preceding year (estimated as area units (ha)); CSRW = the previous carbon stock (estimated as mass (tons)) of carbon, including both soil and vegetation) of in the preceding year new cultivated areas in the world. CSAW = the actual carbon stock (measured as mass (tons) of carbon, including both soil and vegetation) of in the preceding year new cultivated areas in the world. In cases where the carbon stock accumulates over more than one year, the value attributed to CSAW shall be the estimated stock per unit area after 20 years or when the crop reaches maturity, whichever the earlier; For the calculation of net annual emissions from carbon stock changes caused by indirect land-use change, Enet iluc global, the following rule shall be applied: Enet iluc global = Egross iluc global – (20% x Egross iluc global) where Enet iluc global = annual greenhouse gas emissions from carbon stock change due to indirect land-use change (estimated as mass (tons) of CO2-equivalent), reduced by 20% discount compensating uncertainties of estimates; For the estimation of the indirect land-use change emissions per unit biofuel energy the following rule shall be applied: eiluc = ((FSbiofuels x Enet iluc global) / Enbiofuel global) x 1000 where FSbiofuels = Share of feed stocks (vegetable starches, sugars and/or fatty acids from cultivation estimated as mass (tons)) converted to biofuels in the preceding year divided by global vegetable crops from cultivation (estimated as mass (tons)) produced in the year preceding the reference year; Enbiofuels = Energy content (estimated as energy content (gigajoule) determined by lower heating value) of global biofuel production in the preceding year. 1000 = conversion factor t/GJ to g/MJ
