Council Directive (EU) 2015/652 of 20 April 2015 laying down calculation methods and reporting requirements pursuant to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
The fuel baseline standard is calculated based on Union average fossil fuel consumption of petrol, diesel, gasoil, LPG and CNG, as follows:
where:
‘x’ represents the different fuels and energy falling within the scope of this Directive and as defined in the table below;
‘GHGix’ is the greenhouse gas intensity of the annual supply sold on the market of fuel ‘x’ or energy falling within the scope of this Directive expressed in gCO2eq/MJ. The values for fossil fuels presented in point 5 of Part 2 of Annex I are used;
‘MJx’ is the total energy supplied and converted from reported volumes of fuel ‘x’ expressed in mega joules.
Consumption data
The consumption data used for calculation of the value is as follows:
Fuel | Energy Consumption (MJ) | Source |
---|---|---|
diesel | 7 894 969 × 106 | 2010 Member States reporting to the UNFCCC |
non-road gasoil | 240 763 × 106 | |
petrol | 3 844 356 × 106 | |
LPG | 217 563 × 106 | |
CNG | 51 037 × 106 |
The fuel baseline standard for 2010 shall be: 94,1 gCO2eq/MJ
