1. BI(16)4337 A SUSTAINABLE BIOENERGY POLICY POST 2020 contribution of the agricultural sector and perspectives for advanced biofuels & biogas

2. OVERVIEW  How do you see the role of advanced biofuels by 2030?  What is necessary to ensure their development?  What limitations do you see?  How can biogas contribute to our objectives on renewable energy and climate change by 2030?  What environmental considerations should be taken into account when developing agriculture sector contributions to bioenergy uses in the EU? 2

3. 1. How do you see the role of advanced biofuels by 2030?  Advanced biofuels have an important role to play in improving the entire utilization of arable crops  COPA & COGECA call for an additional target for advanced biofuels of at least 3.5%  Arable crops as resources for advanced biofuels require unlimited use of all crop ingredients for food, feed, energy and non food By 2030 Advanced biofuels have an additional and growing role to play Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 3

4. Why?  Advanced biofuels can improve the competitiveness of arable crops by creating additional market outlets for agricultural residues  HOWEVER The competitiveness of arable crops requires unrestricted access to all market outlets including biofuels from starch, sugar and fatty acids Stable political and legal conditions without any limitations to any market outlets are vital Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 4

5. One more thing… Biofuels are co-products of EU protein feed production  EU arable crops are the most efficient source worldwide of vegetable protein provided that market outlets exist for the extracted starches, sugars and fatty acids e.g.: Bioethanol: For every litre 1 to 1.2 kg of protein feed are produced Biodiesel: 60% of rapeseed grain is turned into meal and 40% into oil  Protein-rich feed made from arable crops in the EU already substitutes 4 to 5 million hectares of soya. It could replace 12.2 mil hectares of soya which equates to 11% of global soya surface area, estimated to be 110.6 mil hectares in 2025 Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 5

6. and still one more thing… Advanced biofuels have an important role to play in the bioeconomy HOWEVER The bioeconomy only works as a:  COHERENT SYSTEM without arbitrary limits!  SUSTAINABLE SYSTEM with appropriate legal and political conditions for all products!

7. 2. What is necessary to ensure the development of biofuels?  Improved support for research, technical development and demonstration of advanced biofuels  Secure, fair and long term stable legal and political conditions for European agriculture  Legally binding targets in the FQD and RED at EU level  ETS being unable to provide specific support to advanced biofuels is not an option for the road transportation sector Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 7

8. 3. What limitations do you see?  Advanced biofuels must compete on markets dominated by fossil fuels  For advanced biofuels to be competitive, regulation that provides fair competition on fuel markets is required to drive back the market dominance of fossil fuels  Advanced biofuels need technology specific incentives  Multiple counting that divides the share of advanced biofuels by 2 to 5 must be removed Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 8

9. 4. How can biogas contribute to the EU objectives on climate and energy by 2030?  Biogas used for heat and power contributes to the EU’s 27% RES target  Biomethane from livestock manure and wastes used as biofuels contributes to the 0.5% national targets for advanced biofuels by 2020  Greater consistency needed between various policy areas: climate and energy, circular economy, bioeconomy, agriculture  Heat and cooling from EU biomass must be promoted to a greater extend Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 9

10. 5. What environmental considerations to take into account when developing further agriculture contributions to bioenergy?  The Common Agricultural Policy ensures a high level of environmental performance (via cross-compliance)  Biomass from agricultural holdings eligible for the CAP complies with sustainability criteria  Cross-compliance and the additional sustainability criteria for biofuels must be the reference for all renewable energy sources in transportation  GHG FQD reduction targets higher than 6% must be implemented in all EU MS from 2020 onwards  Sustainability criteria for bioenergy must be based on measured and validated data Sustainable bioenergy policy| Contribution of agriculture | Dietrich Klein | 12.05.2016 | 10
