DIN EN 16214-3:2012-12 EN 16214-3:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Commission on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, referred to as the Renewable Ener
26、gy Directive (RED, 1), incorporates an advanced binding sustainability scheme for biofuels and bioliquids for the European market. The RED contains binding sustainability criteria for greenhouse gas savings, land with high biodiversity value, land with high carbon stock and agro-environmental practi
27、ces. 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 criteria on, for instance, the GHG emission reduction set-off. The sustainability criteria for biofuels are also mandated in Direc
28、tive 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 introducing a mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 7). Directive 98/70/EC is referred to as the Fuels Quality
29、 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 management; the provisions of evidence that the production of raw material has not interfered with nature protection purpose; the au
30、diting 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 of the EU biofuel and bioliquid sustainability scheme. In the Communication from the Commission on the practical implementa
31、tion 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 accepted that sustainability at large encompasses environmental, social and economic aspects. The European Directives make mandator
32、y 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 operators with the implementation of EU biofuel and bioliquids sustainability requirements mandated by the European Directiv
33、es. This European Standard is limited to certain aspects relevant for a sustainability assessment of biomass produced for energy applications. Therefore compliance with this standard or parts thereof alone does not substantiate claims of the biomass being produced sustainably. The European Commissio
34、n 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 material will be considered to meet the requirements if evidence is provided that its production does not interfere with the
35、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 grassland and peatland. This part of this European Standard defines procedures, criteria and indicators to provide the required
36、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 requirements in the CEN Standard. DIN EN 16214-3:2012-12 EN 16214-3:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard only defines p
37、rocedures, 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. This European Standard specifies requireme
38、nts relevant for the provision of evidence by economic operators that the production, cultivation and harvesting of raw materials is in accordance with legal or other requirements concerning the areas mentioned above. This European Standard is applicable to production, cultivation and harvesting of
39、biomass for biofuels and bioliquids production. NOTE At several occasions in the text the plural form “purposes“ is used, but in practice there can be just one nature protection or harvesting of raw material purpose. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normativel
40、y referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 16214-1:2012, Sustainability criteria for the production of biof
41、uels and bioliquids for energy applications Principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers Part 1: Terminology 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 16214-1:2012 apply. 4 Principle This European standard contains procedures with underlying q
42、uestionnaires and indicative data forms to provide the required evidence for the exceptional authorisation of biomass production in the three types of areas cited in the scope. As a first step a location check is carried out (Clause 5). In case this is positive the respective procedures as laid down
43、 in Clauses 6, 7 and/or 8 are followed. These procedures include functional checks and impact checks. These checks are based on criteria, indicators and verifiers. All criteria of the relevant clause are to be met. If a criterion is not applicable/necessary, e.g. due to the specific protection purpo
44、ses, justification/evidence is to be provided. The listed indicators should be used, where possible. If an indicator cannot be used, evidence/justification is necessary. Which indicators and verifiers are used is to be checked in at the respective location. If an additional indicator is used, this n
45、eeds to be justified in the context of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED, 1), e.g. due to specific protection purposes. Each respective procedure is illustrated by a flowchart. The flowcharts present the steps to be taken to provide evidence that the raw material is taken from a source in complian
46、ce with the requirements of the RED. DIN EN 16214-3:2012-12 EN 16214-3:2012 (E) 6 5 Location check 5.1 General Identify whether the area in question falls under one or more of the following in or after January 2008: a) areas for nature protection purposes; if yes, follow procedures laid down in Clau
47、se 6; b) highly biodiverse non-natural grasslands; if yes, follow procedures laid down in Clause 7; c) peatlands; if yes, follow procedures laid down in Clause 8. NOTE 1 For compliance with Directive 2009/28/EC 1 three other types of land are excluded from raw material production for biofuels and ot
48、her bioliquids: primary forest, highly biodiverse natural grassland and land with high carbon stock. These three types of land are not further dealt within this document. In case the production unit, cultivation and/or harvesting area lies within one of these areas one should follow Directive 2009/28/EC. An example of the whole check is visualised in Figure 1.
