Timeline of Changes
This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
Status:
EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
ANNEX IU.K.
The Annexes to Directive 98/70/EC are amended as follows:
(1)
Point 7 of Part C of Annex IV, is replaced by the following:
‘7.Annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use change, el, shall be calculated by dividing total emissions equally over 20 years. For the calculation of those emissions, the following rule shall be applied:
el = (CSR – CSA) × 3,664 × 1/20 × 1/P – eB, ()
where
el
=
annualised greenhouse gas emissions from carbon stock change due to land-use change (measured as mass (grams) of CO2-equivalent per unit biofuel energy (megajoules)). “Cropland”() and “perennial cropland”() shall be regarded as one land use;
CSR
=
the carbon stock per unit area associated with the reference land-use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). The reference land-use shall be the land-use in January 2008 or 20 years before the raw material was obtained, whichever was the later;
CSA
=
the carbon stock per unit area associated with the actual land-use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). In cases where the carbon stock accumulates over more than one year, the value attributed to CSA shall be the estimated stock per unit area after 20 years or when the crop reaches maturity, whichever is the earlier;
P
=
the productivity of the crop (measured as biofuel energy per unit area per year) and
eB
=
bonus of 29 gCO2eq/MJ biofuel if biomass is obtained from restored degraded land under the conditions provided for in point 8.’.
(2)
The following Annex is added:
‘ANNEX V
Part A. Provisional estimated indirect land-use change emissions from biofuels (gCO2eq/MJ)() U.K.
|
|
Feedstock group | Mean | Interpercentile range derived from the sensitivity analysis |
---|
Cereals and other starch-rich crops | 12 | 8 to 16 |
Sugars | 13 | 4 to 17 |
Oil crops | 55 | 33 to 66 |
Part B. Biofuels for which the estimated indirect land-use change emissions are considered to be zeroU.K.
Biofuels produced from the following feedstock categories will be considered to have estimated indirect land-use change emissions of zero:
(1)
feedstocks which are not listed under Part A of this Annex.
(2)
feedstocks, the production of which has led to direct land-use change, i.e. a change from one of the following IPCC land cover categories; forest land, grassland, wetlands, settlements, or other land, to cropland or perennial cropland(). In such a case a direct land-use change emission value (el ) should have been calculated in accordance with paragraph 7 of Part C of Annex IV.”
ANNEX IIU.K.
The Annexes to Directive 2009/28/EC are amended as follows:
(1)
Point 7 of part C of Annex V, is replaced by the following:
‘7.Annualised emissions from carbon stock changes caused by land-use change, el, shall be calculated by dividing total emissions equally over 20 years. For the calculation of those emissions, the following rule shall be applied:
el = (CSR – CSA) × 3,664 × 1/20 × 1/P – eB,()
where
el
=
annualised greenhouse gas emissions from carbon stock change due to land-use change (measured as mass (grams) of CO2-equivalent per unit of biofuel or bioliquid energy (megajoules)). “Cropland”() and “perennial cropland”() shall be regarded as one land use;
CSR
=
the carbon stock per unit area associated with the reference land-use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). The reference land-use shall be the land-use in January 2008 or 20 years before the raw material was obtained, whichever was the later;
CSA
=
the carbon stock per unit area associated with the actual land-use (measured as mass (tonnes) of carbon per unit area, including both soil and vegetation). In cases where the carbon stock accumulates over more than one year, the value attributed to CSA shall be the estimated stock per unit area after 20 years or when the crop reaches maturity, whichever the earlier;
P
=
the productivity of the crop (measured as biofuel or bioliquid energy per unit area per year) and
eB
=
bonus of 29 gCO2eq/MJ biofuel or bioliquid if biomass is obtained from restored degraded land under the conditions provided for in point 8.’.
(2)
The following Annex is added:
‘ANNEX VIII
Part A. Provisional estimated indirect land-use change emissions from biofuel and bioliquid feedstocks (gCO2eq/MJ)() U.K.
|
|
Feedstock group | Mean | Interpercentile range derived from the sensitivity analysis |
---|
Cereals and other starch-rich crops | 12 | 8 to 16 |
Sugars | 13 | 4 to 17 |
Oil crops | 55 | 33 to 66 |
Part B. Biofuels and bioliquids for which the estimated indirect land-use change emissions are considered to be zeroU.K.
Biofuels and bioliquids produced from the following feedstock categories will be considered to have estimated indirect land-use change emissions of zero:
(1)
feedstocks which are not listed under part A of this Annex.
(2)
feedstocks, the production of which has led to direct land-use change, i.e. a change from one of the following IPCC land cover categories: forest land, grassland, wetlands, settlements, or other land, to cropland or perennial cropland(). In such a case a direct land-use change emission value (el) should have been calculated in accordance with point 7 of part C of Annex V.”
(3)
The following Annex is added:
‘ANNEX IX
