Abstract
These regulations transpose Article 7a of Directive 98/70/EC by setting, in respect of road vehicles, non-road mobile machinery (including inland waterway vessels when not at sea), agricultural and forestry tractors, and recreational craft when not at sea, a target for the reduction of life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, and transpose Council Directive (EU) 2015/652 by laying down rules on calculation methods and reporting requirements.
The text establishes that the Authority shall designate any supplier responsible for monitoring and reporting life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy from fuel and energy supplied. Suppliers shall report to the Authority on the greenhouse gas intensity of fuel and energy supplied. Furthermore, they shall reduce as gradually as possible life cycle greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy from fuel and energy supplied, as specified by the text.
The texto also states that the Authority may provide that the maximum contribution of biofuels produced from cereal and other starch-rich crops, sugars and oil crops and from crops grown as main crops primarily for energy purposes on agricultural land for the purpose of compliance with the target referred to in sub-regulation (3) shall not exceed the maximum contribution established by Directive 2009/28/EC.
