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