Advanced biofuels industry, represented by Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels (LSB), welcomes the conclusion of ILUC file and its acknowledgement of the benefits of advanced biofuels.

After years of discussion, however, the compromise that was endorsed by the European Parliament lacks concrete and harmonized measures.

“Our industry has been calling for regulatory certainty for years.

"What has been agreed now is a first step but uncertainty continues.

"An opportunity to kick start the roll out of advanced biofuels in the EU has been missed“, states Marko Janhunen, Chair of LSB.

LSB has engaged in the ILUC legislative process by providing information on the benefits of advanced biofuels: Very high reduction of GHG emissions, increased energy security, utilising domestic raw materials, building on European technological leadership, and creating jobs in rural areas of the EU.

Marko Janhunen continues: “Our industry provides solutions to EU’s climate, energy, environmental and industrial policy.

"All of these subjects are at the core of EU policy today.

"We hope that Member States will show leadership and implement the sub-target in their national policy creating the certainty needed for the new and emerging advanced biofuels industry”.

LSB continues to engage with Member States that are keen to promote advanced biofuels.

In those Member States where policy has focused on advanced biofuels, most investments have materialised.
