1 Biodiesel in the post-2020 EU Renewable Energy Directive EBB key priorities and proposals Raffaello Garofalo EBB Secretary General

2 The European Biodiesel Board The European Biodiesel Board (EBB) represents 75 members from 21 European Member States accounting for nearly 80% of EU biodiesel production and nearly two thirds of the biodiesel produced worldwide. Deeply committed to offer a green alternative to fossil fuels in transport, EBB constantly works towards the reduction of EU energy dependency, the creation of green jobs and the protection of environment. EBB represents its members to the institutions of the European Union and in other international organizations We are constantly committed in the promotion of scientific, technological, legal and research activities. Our aim is to bring effective solutions to the biodiesel industry from different perspectives (economic, political, legal, institutional and technical) 24/05/2018 2

6 EBB proposals for a successful post-2020 EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) Responds to COP21 ambition 35% Renewables target Maintains specific transport sub-target to continue sector s decarbonisation Eliminate 1.7% cap of Part B of Annex IX, and improve efficiency of sustainability criteria and set a CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION of advanced biofuels not a list (a list is not a definition) Addresses ILUC concerns Provides regulatory certainty and protection to investments At least 14% Transport sub-target Include measures to reduce GHG emissions in key sectors like Heavy Duty Vehicles, Aviation & Maritime transport Enhance use of higher biodiesel blends and ensure FULL TRACEABILITY of biofuels (especially advanced) from source to end use 8 % 7 % Advanced with EXPANDED DEFINITION + Cap on 1st generation biofuels This supports progressive and realistic deployment of advanced biofuels in complementary perspective, on top of conventional biofuels Incorporation obligation on fuel suppliers 24/05/2018 6

7 Biofuels are not negative for food security or food prices Food security 2016 Report Reconciling food security and bioenergy: priorities for action, produced by IFPRI, World Bank, Delft University of Technology, Centre for Environmental Policy of the Imperial College of London, among others, refutes most assumptions connecting biofuels with food security, and states that despite a rapid increase in food production, there is no evidence of biofuel impacts on food-related health, either beneficial or detrimental. Food prices The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook concluded that the recent period of high agricultural commodity prices is most likely over. The outlook forecasts that the increased demand for food and feed for a growing and more affluent population is to be mostly met through productivity gains, with yield improvements expected to account for about 80% of the increase in crop output. 24/05/2018 7

8 ILUC: modeling delivers very diferente results Estimations across ILUC studies are not directly comparable, and there is no consensus on ILUC among the international scientific community. Therefore, the compromise achieve in the 2014 ILUC Directive should remain in force as the best possible way to address any existing concerns with land-use. Various studies highlighted considerably different conclusions on ILUC: When applied to Europe, the GTAP model (used by the California Air Resources Board), delivers ILUC values for rapeseed biodiesel four to five times lower than those established by GLOBIOM (model used by the Commission). For palm oil biodiesel the difference is even more significant. 24/05/2018 8

9 EBB main proposals for the RED II trialogue negotiations: 14% obligation for renewables in transport + 35% for renewables overall. Keep at least the 7% ceiling for 1st Gen (policy consistency) Follow key principles of feedstock and technology neutrality (i.e. sustainability of each raw material should be assessed on its own merits). Reject disproportionately high multiplier factors + electricity in rail should not be rewarded as it is a well established technology. Single EU-wide traceability database to prevent fraud + ensure sustainability Maintain existing system of mass balance Support a broader definition of advanced biofuels including all biofuels produced from waste and residual biomass complying with the existing sustainability criteria. Eliminate the cap of 1.7% for Part B of Annex IX 24/05/2018 9
