Amendment 335 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point e e
(ee) ‘advanced biofuels’ means biofuels that are produced from feedstocks listed in part A of Annex IX; from biomass other than food/feed crops while meeting the EU sustainability regime under the legislation in force.

Amendment 439 #
Proposal for a directive
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 3,8% in 2030 following the trajectory set out in part A of Annex X. 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 settingMember States may set a lower limit for the contribution from food or feed crop based biofuels produced from oil crops, taking into account indirect land use change.

Amendment 461 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 7 – paragraph 4 – point b a (new)
(ba) For promoting the gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources in transport, Member States may set higher national mandates in the transport sector by authorising the use of sustainable biofuels, biomass fuels and renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin consumed in the transport sectors produced from feedstocks not included in Annex IX.

Amendment 555 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1
1. With effect from 1 January 2021, Member States shall requirset the fuel suppliers to include a minimum share of energy from advanced biofuelsincorporation obligation and shall increase gradually the share of renewable energy from conventional biofuels, as well as advanced 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.

Amendment 591 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 3
The greenhouse gas emission savings from the use of conventional, advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IX shall be at least 70% as of 1 January 2021.

Amendment 601 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – subparagraph 1
(b) for the calculation of the numerator, the energy content of advanced biofuels and other biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock listed in Annex IXny types of biofuels and biogas, renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin, waste based fossil fuels supplied to all transport sectors, and renewable electricity supplied to road vehiclesand rail transport, shall be taken into account.

Amendment 617 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b – subparagraph 2
For the calculation of the numerator, the contribution from biofuels and biogas produced from feedstock included in part B of Annex IX shall be limited to 1.7% of the energy content of transport fuels supplied for consumption or use on the market and the contribution of fuels supplied in the aviation and maritime sector shall be considered to be 1.2 times their energy content.

Amendment 625 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b a (new)
(ba) For the calculation of the contribution from electricity produced from renewable sources and consumed in all types of electric vehicles and for the production of renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-biological origin for the purpose of points (a) and (b), Member States may choose to use either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in their own country as measured two years before the year in question. Furthermore, for the calculation of the electricity from renewable energy sources consumed by electrified rail transport, that consumption shall be considered to be 2,5 times the energy content of the input of electricity from renewable energy sources. For the calculation of the electricity from renewable energy sources consumed by electric road vehicles in point (b), that consumption shall be considered to be five times the energy content of the input of electricity from renewable energy sources;

Amendment 628 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point b b (new)
(bb) Biofuels produced from feedstocks listed in Annex IX shall be considered to be twice their energy content for the purpose of complying with the target set out in the first subparagraph.

Amendment 629 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 4 – point c a (new)
(ca) For the calculation of both numerator and denominator, only biofuels and bioliquids that are produced from feedstock derived/produced within the EU can be taken into account.

Amendment 637 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
3. To determine the share of renewable electricity for the purposes of paragraph 1 either the average share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Union or the share of electricity from renewable energy sources in the Member State where the electricity is supplied, as measured two years before the year in question may be used. However, electricity that is supplied to road vehicles and obtained from a direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity or through power purchase agreements for renewable electricity from the grid, that electricity shall be fully counted as renewable electricity. In both cases, an equivalent amount of guarantees of origin issued in accordance with Article 19 shall be cancelled.

Amendment 651 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point a – subparagraph 2
However, electricity obtained from direct connection to an installation generating renewable electricity (i) that comes into operation after or at the same time as the installation producing the renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non- biological origin and (ii) is not connected to the grid, can be fully counted as renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin. Similarly, electricity obtained through power purchase agreements for renewable electricity shall be fully counted as renewable electricity for the production of that renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuel of non-biological origin.

Amendment 657 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 3 – point b
(b) When biomass isor biomass fuels are processed with fossil fuels in a common process, the amount of biofuel in the product shall be established applying adequate conversion factors to the biomass input. In case the process yields more than one product, all products stemming from the process shall be assumed to contain the same share of biofuel. The same rules shall apply for the purposes of Article 27(1).

Amendment 680 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 25 – paragraph 7
7. By 31 December 2025, in the context of the biennial assessment of progress made pursuant to Regulation [Governance], the Commission shall assess whether the obligation laid down in paragraph 1 effectively stimulates innovation and promotes greenhouse gas savings in the transport sector, and whether the applicable greenhouse gas savings requirements for biofuels and biogas are appropriate. The Commission shall, if appropriate, present a proposal to modify the obligation laid down in paragraph 1. Any modification should at least maintain levels reflecting advanced biofuels installed and under construction capacity in 2025.
