28. And more trade March 25, 2011

31. Carbon sinks: preservation of status of areas

32. EU: cross compliance requirements (agriculture and nature protection)

33. Reporting requirements: food security and food prices, ILO, land security

34. For waste, residues and solid biomass:

35. Waste and residues (not from agriculture, aquaculture, fishery, forest): only GHG-emission requirement

36. For solid biomass for energy possibility of national sustainability requirementsMarch 25, 2011

45. Sustainability ensuredMarch 25, 2011

46. Voluntary certification schemes Schemes being developed by consortia / roundtables Bonsucro (formerly BSI, sugarcane) – www.bettersugarcane.com ISCC – www.iscc-system.org NTA 8080/8081 – www.sustainable-biomass.org REDcert – www.redcert.org RSB – www.rsb.epfl.ch RSPO (palm oil) – www.rspo.org RTRS (soy) – www.responsiblesoy.org Schemes being developed by companies Abengoa(RED Bioenergy Sustainability Assurance) French stakeholders – 2BSvs Nesté Oil Red Tractor – http://www.nfuonline.com/News/Red-Tractor-scheme-proposed-for-biofuels/ SEKAB/UNICA – www.sustainableethanolinitiative.com March 25, 2011

48. Aim:Harmonise calculations of biofuel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions performed in EU-27 under legislation implementing the Renewable Energy and Fuel Quality directives

49. BioGrace to be submittedsoon for recognition asvoluntary scheme

50. Feb – June: public workshops

51. More information:www.BioGrace.netMarch 25, 2011

53. December 2009: Ministerial Regulation Double Counting of Advanced Biofuels, “Second Generation”- waste / residues, lignocellulosic material- GHG balance >35%

54. April 2010: Duty charge minus 27% on high blends sustainable ethanol (E85) Sustainability standard: NTA 8080/8081, BSI, RTFO

55. April 2010: Agreement on transparency on nature, origin and sustainability of biofuels with business sector

56. May 2010:Perspective on mid-term developments: from 4% in 2010 to 5,5% in 2014 and evaluation of 2020 target in 2014

57. June 2010: Dutch Renewable Action Plan ready: presented to European CommissionMarch 25, 2011

59. January 2011: Legislation has been approved by Parliament, now in Senate

60. Make it work in practice: operational structure for the administration of sustainable biofuels (Dutch Emission Authority/NEA)

61. October 2010: Consultation of the EU Commission on indirect land use change (iLUC). The Netherlands in favour of iLUC-factor and low risk iLUC biofuels

62. Global sustainability of biofuels/energy/biobased: dialogue with producing countries, subsidy programmes (20 Mln Euro), Global Bio Energy Partnership and roundtables

63. EU consultation on sustainability criteria for solid biomass for energy purposes. Netherlands in favourMarch 25, 2011

65. Possibility for higher percentage of renewable energy in transport coming years and broadening obligation to shipping and air transport

66. Reassurance of no impacts of biomass use on primary forests

67. Stimulate more sustainable energy in transport (2nd generation biofuels, biogas, electricity), at least half of 10% in 2020

68. Adequate enforcement of current legislationMarch 25, 2011

70. 3 important conclusions:

71. Biobased Economy provides opportunities for the Dutch economic development, innovation, GHG-emission reduction and energy security

72. Sustainability framework is necessary for a biobased economy in order to protect natural resources, improve social situation and food security

73. Sustainability frameworks should be completed with ilUC, more efficient agriculture, efficient use of biomass and nature protection

74. Government will react on the above mentioned advicesMarch 25, 2011

75. Biobased Economy March 25, 2011

77. Opportunities for the Netherlands:

78. Strong sectors in the Netherlands: agrifood, chemistry, energy, logistics, agricultural knowledge

79. GHG-reduction

80. Energy security
