NGOs recommendations for post-2020 sustainable low carbon transport fuels policy

We encourage the European Commission to phase-out food-based biofuels by 2030 and to prioritize a GHG-based target over a blending mandate for incentivizing truly low carbon advanced fuels and electricity.

The 4 key recommendations underlined in the letter are the following:

• Stop all direct and indirect support for land based biofuels and stop counting them toward renewable energy and climate targets
• Create a robust sustainability framework for all forms of bioenergy, including advanced biofuel feedstocks
• GHG targets are the most effective way to ensure economically secure future for low-carbon, sustainable, advanced fuels
• Only set a realistic GHG target for 2025
