(1) Article 3(4) of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/777/EC and 2003/30/EC9 requires Member States to ensure that the share of energy from renewable energy sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10% of their final energy consumption. The blending of biofuels is one of the methods available for Member States to meet this target, and is expected to be the main contributor. The European market in fuels is expected to remain extremely dependent on the availability of diesel oil, which particularly characterises it. In response to this high level of dependence, increased biodiesel production should be encouraged.

(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 likely that 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 accordingly. In order to find medium and long-term solutions to this risk, it is necessary to encourage research and development in new advanced biofuel sectors that are not in competition with food crops, such as ligno-cellulosic residues, which are among the rare forms of biomass in large supply in the Member States, and algae.

(7) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the 2012 Communication "Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe"11 and the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe12, promoting integrated and diversified biorefineries across Europe, enhanced incentives under Directive 2009/28/EC should be set in a way that gives preference to the use of biomass feedstocks that do not have a high economic value for other uses than biofuels. Ligno-cellulosic residues are among the rare forms of biomass in large supply in Europe. The setting of a blending sub-target for ligno-cellulosic biofuels would provide investors with the visibility needed to build on their potential.

(8) The minimum greenhouse gas saving threshold for biofuels and bioliquids produced in new installations should be increased with effect from 1st July 2014 in order to improve their overall greenhouse gas balance as well as disencouraging further investments in installations with lowhigh greenhouse gas savings performance. This increaseA 50% minimum threshold provides for investment safeguards in biofuels and bioliquids production capacities in conformity with Article 19(6) second subparagraph.

(11) The estimated indirect land-use change emissions should be included in the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from biofuels under Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC. Biofuels made from feedstocks that do not lead to additional demand for land, such as those from waste feedstocks, should be assigned a zero emissions factor. .

(19) In order to permit adaptation to technical and scientific progress of Directive 2009/28/EC, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the list of biofuel feedstocks that are counted multiple times towards the target set in Article 3(4), the energy content of transport fuels, criteria and geographic ranges for determining highly biodiverse grassland, the methodology for the calculation of indirect land-use change emissions, and the methodological principles and values necessary for assessing whether sustainability criteria have been fulfilled in relation to biofuels and bioliquids.

(4) Where pasture or agricultural land previously destined for food and feed 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 could constitutes indirect land-use change and when it involves the conversion of land with high carbon stock it canould lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, Directives 98/70/EC and 2009/28/EC should thereforeonly be amended to include provisions to address indirect land-use change given that current biofuels are mainly produced from crops grown on existing agricultural landwhen research has made it possible to determine the existence of this factor in a scientifically proven manner and to evaluate it precisely.

(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, residues 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 research, development and greater 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-legallya 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 suchthe 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.

(16) Yield increases in agricultural sectors through intensified research, technological development and knowledge transfer beyond levels which would have prevailed in the absence of productivity-promoting schemes for food and feed crop-based biofuels, as well as the cultivation of a second annual crop on areas which were previously not used for growing a second annual crop, can contribute to mitigating indirect land-use change. To the extent that the resulting indirect land-use change mitigation effect at national or project level can be quantified, measures introduced by this Directive could reflect such productivity improvements both in terms of reduced estimatedthe risks of indirect land- use change emission values and the contribution of food and feed crop-based biofuels towards the share of energy from renewable sources in transport to be achieved in 2020.

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.

To prevent materials from being intentionally modified or discarded in order to fall under Annex IX, Member States shall encourage the development and use of systems which track and trace feedstocks and the resulting biofuels over the whole value chain. Member States shall ensure that when fraud is detected, appropriate action is taken. Member States shall by 31 December 2017, and every two years thereafter, report on the measures they have taken if they have not provided equivalent information on reliability and protection against fraud in their reports on progress in the promotion and use of energy from renewable sources drawn up in accordance with Article 22(1)(d). Based on these reports, the Commission shall consider whether it is appropriate to establish a single European register for waste and residues benefiting from multiple counting, and may propose such a measure to the European Parliament and the Council.
