Definition of input data to assess GHG default emissions from biofuels in EU legislation : version 1c - July 2017; Appendix 1: Outcomes of stakeholders consultations

The EC Joint Research Center (JRC) is in charge of defining input values to be used for the calculation of default GHG emissions for biofuels, bioliquids, solid and gaseous biomass pathways. An update of the GHG emissions has been carried out for the new Proposal of a Directive on the Promotion of the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources (COM(2016)767 - RED-2) for the post-2020 framework. In order to guarantee transparency and ensure the use of the most up-to-date information and data, the JRC with the support of DG ENERGY organised workshops and consultations with recognised experts and stakeholders in three occasions. Stakeholders and experts had the opportunity to send detailed comments and ask for clarifications on the draft reports circulated before the meetings in May 2013 and September 2016 and the data presented during the workshops. This Appendix contains the detailed list of questions and comments received by the Commission from experts and stakeholders in 2016 and 2013 and the related JRC answers.
