EU publishes ILUC risk additions to RED in official journal following scrutiny period

In Belgium, in the absence of objections by European Parliament and Council on the proposed text within the given two-month scrutiny period, the European Commission has published in the Official Journal the Delegated Act on the determination of high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock and the certification of low indirect land-use change-risk biofuels.

The Delegated Regulation supplements the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive published last December and will represent the legal basis to determine what feedstocks bear a high risk of causing ILUC and to define a methodology for low ILUC additional production.
