What about? Consortium: CE Delft, TNO en ECN will work out together with all relevant stakeholders different scenario s for the fuel mix in 2020, 2030 en 2050 All alternatives are hardly needed With more and more electric vehicles (incl. h2), the available biofuel and biogas will be used in future for aviation and shipping and long distance freight I&M wil base future policy choices and incentives on this strategy 12 Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment 6 Februar 2014
Dutch perspective II Government wants to stimulate more advanced biofuels and limit conventional ones Agricultural aspect is less relevant Stimulate investment in advanced biofuel production No financial support or tax incentives (except from E85) In past IBB subsidies In 2014 5,5% In 2015 6,25% Further path depends on result ILUC and the legal perspective of sub target 13 Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment 6 Februar 2014
Practical implementation Dutch Emission Authority (NEA) is registering and controlling the Dutch biofuel market Fuel suppliers have an obligation (e.g. 2014 5,5% and 2015 6,25%) Sustainabilty must be shown bij an adopted voluntary certification system incl. independent audit We have a mass balance system. 25% carry over 14 Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment 6 Februar 2014
