Alternative Fuels and BIOenergy
The Commission's legislative proposal for a Recast of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED-recast) (COM(2016) 767), in Art. 26(7), specifies the minimum greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions saving thresholds that bioenergy must comply with in order to count towards the renewables targets and to be eligible for public support. Annex V (liquid biofuels) and Annex VI (solid and gaseous biomass) of the RED-Recast describe the methodology for GHG savings calculations needed to comply with the GHG criteria. They also provide a list of Default GHG emission values, aggregated and disaggregated, that operators can use to demonstrate compliance of their product with the GHG criteria.
The Joint Research Centre was in responsible for the calculation of the typical and default GHG values contained in Annex V and Annex VI. The datasets in this collection contain input values, GHG emission results and other background data used to compile the calculations. Stakeholders can use the datasets to get a deeper insight into the values contained in the annexes.
