  "text": "(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), an amount of renewable transport fuel meets the GHG emission saving threshold if the GHG emission saving from its use is equal to or greater than the minimum GHG emission saving applicable to that fuel as specified in paragraph 4.\n(2) If the renewable transport fuel is produced partly from raw materials other than sustainable feedstocks, the minimum GHG emission saving for the purposes of this Schedule applies only to the volume of that fuel which...—\n(a) is attributable to sustainable feedstocks; ...\n(b) is produced from residues (including processing residues) which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry;\n(c) is produced from wastes which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry; or\n(d) consists of RFNBO.\n(3) The GHG emission saving from the use of an amount of renewable transport fuel of a type falling within sub-paragraph (2) is the greater of—\n(a) where applicable, the default value determined by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m); and\n(b) the actual value determined by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m).\n(4) The GHG emission saving from the use of an amount of renewable transport fuel which consists of RFNBO is determined by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m).",
