  1. Union for the Promotion of Oil and Protein Plants Biodiesel in Germany/Europe SPZO-28th international conference HLUK meeting Hluk/Moravia/CZ November 24-25, 2011 Dr. Norbert Heim, UFOP/Berlin

  2. Regulatory Framework for Biofuels • EU RED (EU Directive 2009/28/EC); • 10% target for energy from renewable sources in the transport sector by 2020 • Sustainability requirements for biofuels • Fuel Quality Directive (EU Directive 2009/30/EG); • Binding GHG mitigation target of 6% for fuels until 2020 • Target could be achieved by the use of biofuels • Germany: Federal Emission Control Act (BImschG) • Definition of a biofuel quota (6,25% energetic until 2014) • From 2015 this quota will be replaced by a GHG-mitigation target of 7% until 2020 2

  5. Prognosis Biodiesel 2020 D & EU

  6. Certification systems • Germany acknowledgement (working systems): • REDcert • ISCC System • 28 Certification companies • and Roundtable for Sustainable Biofuels (RSB/Switzerland) • EU acknowledgement for all memberstates: • Biomass Biofuels Sustainability voluntary scheme (2BSvs/France) • Bonsucro EU (Brazil/Ethanol) • Greenergy Brazilian Bioethanol verification programme (Brazil/Ethanol) • International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) • Abengoa RED Bioenergy Sustainability Assurance (Spain/Ethanol) • Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB EU RED) • Roundtable for Responsible Soy (RTRS EU RED) • EU acknowledgement (in preparation): • REDcert • others

  7. Who is behind REDcert? Leading trade organizations of the agri- and biofuel-business

  8. System structure

  9. Participants in the REDcert-System (Nov 2011) about 2.350 operating sites Certificates: 952 Certification bodies: 21

  10. Participants in EC member states (Nov 2011) Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Italy Luxembourg Austria Poland Slowenia Czech Republic United Kingdom 20 1 1 8 1 66 879 3 2 3 1 1 19 1

  11. Farmers „Self-Declaration“in Germany All biomass or limitation for certain cultures Reference January 2008 for arable land / Definiton grassland with high biodiversity expected Restrictions in protected areas? Receiver of direct payments / farm is subject to Cross Compliance Land register and photos of used farm land are available on the farm Default values should be used in NUTS II areas

  12. New Challange for Farmers I • Minimum GHG savings • GHG savings (EU 35%, 2017 50%, 2018 new 60%) • GHG-Reduction-Quota (Germany from 2015 on) • Implementation iLUC (expected EU from 2013 on)

  13. greenhouse gas-based biofuel quota from 2015 in germany

  14. Commission Report of iLUC – four policy options A. Monitoring and developing expertise on iLUC • Increasing GHG savings thresholds • Introducing additional sustainability criteria for biofuels D. Introducing differentiated iLUC factors per biofuels type

  15. New Challange for Farmers II Optimising GHG balance on farm! and industrie!

  16. RED Default Value – Recalculation Cultivation Calculations based on: JRC values, DBFZ 2010 19

  17. RED Default Value - Sensitivity Analysis Cultivation Calculations based on: JRC values, DBFZ 2010 20

  18. RED Default Value - Results CultivationThe recalculation of the cultivation default value shows the strong influence of the fertiliser production and field emissions Processing IEmissions from milling process are driven by heat and electricity supply Processing IIEmissions from refining and trans-esterification are driven by heat and methanol supply

  19. RED Default Value - Summary Results Comparison of different GHG reduction approaches 22

  20. Summary & Conclusions • The implementation of certification systems is neccessary to continue the biofuel policy, to get the acceptance by politicans and public • A GHG related quota in combination with the GHG mitigation requirements of the FQD will lead to a strong relation between the biofuel price and its GHG reduction potential  this could lead to an intense competition • The results from different studies (UFOP, FOP, Canola, Soy, …) represent a theoretical potential for reduction the GHG emissions, they underline the importance for farmers, crushers and biofuel producers to investigate their cultivation and process chain for possibilities to reduce GHG emissions • We need a political answer at the iLUC hypothesis - but not a global iLUC factor or a risk adder! 23
