(1)Directive (EU) 2018/2001 establishes requirements for biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels, in order to ensure that they can be counted towards the targets set in that Directive only if they have been sustainably produced and save significant greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to fossil fuels. Article 29 of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 lays down sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria for biofuels, bioliquids, and biomass fuels, and Article 26 of that Directive and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807note establish the criteria for determining:
—which feedstock for biofuels, bioliquids or biomass fuels has high indirect land-use change risk, and
—which high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids or biomass fuels that meet certain conditions can be certified as having low indirect land-use change risk.
