Das Projekt "Assessing the EC ILUC proposal - Dutch National Impact Assessment" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Regierung Niederlande. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: ECOFYS Energieberatung und Handelsgesellschaft mbH.The European Union was the first region to introduce mandatory sustainability requirements for biofuels worldwide. Currently the EU discusses to amend the EU biofuels policy to include measures against Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) associated with biofuel production. The European Commission has proposed to introduce a maximum for conventional biofuels and incentives for advanced biofuels. Also, it is proposed that fuel suppliers are obliged to report on the indirect GHG emissions caused by biofuels supplied to the EU market. Ecofys wrote a report for the Dutch government assessing the proposed policy measures and their impact on the Dutch and European biofuel sector. The report also provides an overview of the Dutch biofuels market as well as an assessment of the Commissions Impact Assessment which was published together with the ILUC proposal.
