Recital 16
(16) Heat pumps using heat from geothermal resources from the ground or water, and heat pumps using ambient heat from the air to transfer the thermal energy to a useful temperature level, need electricity to function. Heat pumps using ambient heat from the air often require the use of significant amounts of conventional energy. Therefore, only useful thermal energy coming from heat pumps using ambient heat from the airor from the ambient air may require the use of significant amounts of conventional energy to transfer heat to a useful temperature level. Therefore, only heat pumps that meet the minimum requirements of the coefficient of performance established in Commission Decision 2007/742/EC, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco- label award scheme, should be taken into account for the purpose of measuring compliance with the targets established by this Directive.

(29) While Directive 2005/36/EC lays down requirements for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications, including for architects, there is a further need to ensure that architects and planners properly consider the use of energy from renewable sourcan optimal combination of renewable energy sources and high efficiency technologies in their plans and designs. Member States should therefore provide clear guidance. This should be done without prejudice to the provisions of Directive 2005/36/EC and in particular Articles 46 and 49 thereof.

Article 18 – paragraph 4
Article 18 – paragraph 4
4. For the purposes of demonstrating compliance with national renewable energy obligations placed on operators, the contribution made by biofuels produced from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material, and ligno-cellulosic materialThe contribution made by biofuels produced from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material and ligno-cellulosic material and biofuels delivering a greater than 50% GHG emission saving versus their fossil equivalents and whose fuel characteristics allow blending in the applicable European CEN norms for gasoline and diesel at higher volume percentages than the limits for bioethanol, and biodiesel, shall be considered to be twice that made by other biofuels.

Recital 52
(52) When designing their support systems, Member States may encourage the use of biofuels which give additional benefits – including the benefits of diversification offered by biofuels made from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material, and ligno-cellulosic material, algae, as well as non irrigated plants grown in arid areas to fight desertification – by taking due account of the different costs of producing energy from traditional biofuels on the one hand and of these biofuels which give additional benefits on the other hand. Member States may encourage investment in the development of renewable energy technologies that need time to become competitive.

(55) In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission to adapt the methodological principles and values necessary for assessing whether environmental sustainability criteria have been fulfilled in relation to biofuels and other bioliquids and to adapt the energy content of transport fuels to technical and scientific progress. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive by the adaptation of the methodological principles and values, they must be adopted in line with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC. However, when determining the default values to be used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions during the life cycle of biofuels and other bioliquids, the Commission should take into account the values and data obtained by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), especially where N2O emissions are concerned. It should also be sure to use the updated values for the industrial processes affecting the life cycle of biofuels and other bioliquids.

Article 5 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 2
Article 5 – paragraph 5 – subparagraph 2
The renewable part of the thermal energy generated by heat pumps using geothermal energyresources from the ground or water shall be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 1(b). Thermal energy generated by heat pumps, or using ambient heat from the air shall be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 1(b), provided that the energy efficiency of such heat pumps meets the minimum requirements of eco-labelling laid down pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, where applicable, in particular the minimum coefficient of performance established in Decision 2007/742/EC, and reviewed in accordance with that Regulation. The renewable part will be defined as the difference between the thermal energy generated and the primary conventional energy consumed by the heat pump.

Article 12 – paragraph 3
3. Member States shall require local and regional administrative bodies to considerensure the installation of equipment and systems which allow an optimal combination of renewable energy sources and high- efficiency technologies for the use of heating, cooling and electricity from renewable sources and for district heating and cooling when planning, designing, building and refurbishing industrial or residential areas.

Article 12 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4a. Member States will pro-actively promote plus-energy housing concepts for administrative and private home buildings from 2012 onwards and make plus energy buildings a requirement at latest in 2020. Member States require that their own buildings and the buildings of public or near public authorities at the national, regional and local level will be turned into flagship project for the use of renewable energies and apply the plus energy standards from 2012 onwards. Roofs of all public or mixed private-public buildings will be put at the disposal of third persons for investments for the installations of renewable energy production.

Annex VII – Part C – paragraph 6
6. Emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials, eec, shall include emissions from the extraction or cultivation process itself; from the collection of raw materials; from waste and leakages; and from the production of chemicals or products used in extraction or cultivation. Capture of CO2 in the cultivation of raw materials shall be excluded. Certified reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from flaring at oil production sites anywhere in the world shall be deducted. Estimates of emissions from cultivation may be derived from the use of averages calculated in accordance with data provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), particularly with regard to N2O emissions, for smaller geographical areas than those used in the calculation of the default values, as an alternative to using actual values.
