BS EN 16214-3:2012EN 16214-3:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Directive 2009/28/E

38、C of the European Commission on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, referred to as the Renewable Energy Directive (RED, 1), incorporates an advanced binding sustainability scheme for biofuels and bioliquids for the European market. The RED contains binding sustainability crite

39、ria for greenhouse gas savings, land with high biodiversity value, land with high carbon stock and agro-environmental practices. Several articles in the RED present requirements to European Member States and to economic operators in Europe. Non-EU countries may have different requirements and criter

40、ia on, for instance, the GHG emission reduction set-off. The sustainability criteria for biofuels are also mandated in Directive 98/70/EC relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels 6, via the amending Directive 2009/30/EC (as regards the specification of petrol, diesel and gas-oil and introd

41、ucing a mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 7). Directive 98/70/EC is referred to as the Fuels Quality Directive (FQD). In May 2009, the European Commission requested CEN to initiate work on standard(s) on: the implementation of the mass balance method of custody chain manageme

42、nt; the provisions of evidence that the production of raw material has not interfered with nature protection purpose; the auditing by member states and by voluntary schemes of the information submitted by economic operators. Both the EC and CEN agreed that these may play a role in the implementation

43、 of the EU biofuel and bioliquid sustainability scheme. In the Communication from the Commission on the practical implementation of the EU biofuels and bioliquids sustainability scheme and on counting rules for biofuels (2010/C 160/02, 2), awareness of the CEN work is indicated. It is widely accepte

44、d that sustainability at large encompasses environmental, social and economic aspects. The European Directives make mandatory the compliance of several sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids. This European Standard has been developed with the aim to assist EU Member States and economic

45、operators with the implementation of EU biofuel and bioliquids sustainability requirements mandated by the European Directives. This European Standard is limited to certain aspects relevant for a sustainability assessment of biomass produced for energy applications. Therefore compliance with this st

46、andard or parts thereof alone does not substantiate claims of the biomass being produced sustainably. The European Commission has identified land use types from which raw material will not meet their criteria of sustainability. However, in three of these land use types exceptions are possible. Raw m

47、aterial will be considered to meet the requirements if evidence is provided that its production does not interfere with the continuity of that land use type or the integrity of the ecosystem. These land use types are areas designated for nature protection purposes, highly biodiverse non-natural gras

48、sland and peatland. This part of this European Standard defines procedures, criteria and indicators to provide the required evidence. Where applicable, the parts of this standard contain at the end an annex that informs the user of the link between the requirements in the European Directive and the

49、requirements in the CEN Standard. BS EN 16214-3:2012EN 16214-3:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard only defines procedures, criteria and indicators to provide the required evidence for: production of raw material in areas for nature protection purposes; harvesting of raw material from highly biodiverse non-natural grassland; and cultivation and harvesting on peatland.
