Paragraph 2 Compliance with the sustainability criteriaF1F2

(1)

To the extent that renewable transport fuel was produced from a feedstock listed in column (2) of the table below, that feedstock meets the sustainability criteria if it meets the conditions specified, in relation to the feedstock concerned, in column (3) of the table.

(1) Entry number(2) Feedstock(3) Conditions that the feedstock must meet in order to meet the sustainability criteria
1Forest biomass, including residues from forestry or wastes from forestryThe GHG emission saving threshold and the forest criteria
2Residues, including processing residues, which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestryThe GHG emission saving threshold
3Wastes, which are not wastes F3of biological origin from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestryThe GHG emission saving threshold
4Residues from agriculture or wastes from agricultureThe GHG emission saving threshold, the land criteria and the soil carbon criteria
5Renewable energy of non-biomass originThe GHG emission saving threshold
6 F4Any feedstock not falling within entries 1 to 5 or 7 The GHG emission saving threshold and the land criteria
F57 Wastes of fossil originThe GHG emission saving threshold and the sustainable waste management criteria
(2)

A relevant feedstock meets the soil carbon criteria if the renewable transport fuel supplier provides evidence, by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m), that satisfies the Administrator that adequate monitoring or management plans are in place for the land concerned which address the impacts on soil quality and soil carbon of the harvesting of the relevant feedstock from that land.

(3)

In the table, “GHG emission saving threshold” means the threshold established in accordance with paragraph 3.

(F64)

Wastes of fossil origin meet the sustainable waste management criteria if the renewable transport fuel supplier provides evidence, by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m), that satisfies the Administrator that adequate monitoring or management plans are in place to address the local environmental impacts caused as a result of sourcing or processing the waste.
