The Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels (LSB), the EU industrial leaders in Advanced Biofuel technology group, appreciate the limit on conventional biofuels and the dedicated target for truly advanced biofuels. The Leaders support the categorization of UCO/tallow as conventional biofuels: however, LSB request the policy makers to revise the Rapporteur Corinne Lepage’s (ENVI) decision amending the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) adopted on 11 July 2013.
LSB strongly believe that it is essential for an effective implementation of the proposal, that the feedstock eligible for Advanced Biofuels production are derived from lignocellulosic biomass (i.e. straw, bagasse, EFB, forestry residues, lignocellulosic energy crops, crude tall oil & tall oil pitch), or are manufactured from the biomass fraction of municipal wastes: all of these feedstock are truly sustainable. It is however essential that fraudulent activity of feedstock categorization is eliminated.
