- Bioenergy
- Definition: energy stored in organic material (biomass).
- Biomethane
- Upgraded biogas: scrubbing out the Co2 up to 98% methane
- Biofuel Directive 2003: reference value of 5.75% biofuels in all petrol and diesel for transport by 2010.
- Renewable Energy Directive I: mandatory biofuel targets.
- RED II: upscaled targets; certification for low ILUC risk biofuels.
- Fuel Quality Directive: 6% reduction of GHG emissions from road transport fuels.
- Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC)
- ILUC Directive 2015: capped the contribution of food-based biofuels to the RED target at 7% by 2020.
- Use of agricultural land where agricultural production is still necessary, leading to the extension of agricultural land into non-crop land, including areas with high carbon stock.
- RED II limits the amount of biofuels that MSs can count towards national targets for renewables.
- Criteria for determining the high ILUC risk feedstock and certifying low ILUC risk biofuels.
- Targets for biofuels
- RED I: minimum 35% GHG emissions saving from biofuels.
- RED II: trajectory from 50% to 80%.
