Solid and gaseous bioenergy pathways : input values and GHG emissions : calculated according to the methodology set in COM(2010) 11 and SWD(2014) 259

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) (2009/28/EC) and the Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) (2009/30/EC) fix a threshold of savings of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for biofuels and bioliquids, and set the rules for calculating the greenhouse impact of biofuels, bioliquids and their fossil fuels comparators. To help economic operators to declare the GHG emission savings of their products, default and typical values are also listed in the annexes of the RED and FQD directives. The Commission recommended Member States to use the same approach for other bioenergy sources in the report from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament on sustainability requirements for the use of solid and gaseous biomass sources in electricity, heating and cooling (COM(2010)11). Typical and default GHG emission values for solid and gaseousbioenergy pathways were reported in the report. SWD(2014)259 updates the values defined in the COM(2010)11 to account for the technogical and market developments in the bioenergy sector. This report describes the assumptions made by the JRC when compiling the updated data set used to calculate default and typical GHG emissions for the different solid and gaseous bioenergy pathways and the results of such calculations in terms of typical and default GHG emission values . In the annexes the comments/questions received from JRC as reaction to the presentation of the data in stakeholders/experts consultations are reported together with their relative answers/rebuttals.

Notes:	Version 1a. - This document replaces the previous version of the report EUR 26696 EN published in August 2014 with ISBN number 978-92-79-38667-1 (PDF) and PUBSY request number JRC90754. The corrections made in the new document are listed below: 1)Added note for clarification in Table 100; 2) Eucalyptus cultivation input values updated in Table 55: values are corrected foran averaging mistake. The updated input values have an impact on all pathways with Eucalyptus. The change in total GHG emissions, compared to version 1, is calculated to be circa -1% (not visible in aggregated values in Table 86 and Table 87 but visible in Table 90 and Table 91); 3)PKM transport distance: a mistype is corrected in the comments to Table 82 and in the caption of Table 84; 4)Figure 14 and its caption have been corrected with the appropriate allocation formulas; 5)Figure 13 and section 7.3.2 have been corrected; a mistype in the calculations spreadsheet had caused an error in the figure and in the conclusions drawn; 6) Caption of Table 1 updated to include additional information about the emission factors considered.; 7)Maize whole crop cultivation data: data for aglime input and CO2 emissions from neutralization of soil acidity have beenupdated due to a mistake in previous calculations. These changes affect the values in Table 98 to Table 103. The new GHG emissions for biogas pathways are higher than the ones in Version 1 by about 0.5% to 1.2% (on biogas basis) and consequently GHG savings lower by about 1% to 9%; 8) Table of content and pdf file re-compiled to for clarity and ease of use of readers. - Bibl. : p. 92-96
