  1. Implementation of Article 7a of the Fuel Quality Directive Philip OwenEuropean Commission

  2. Fuel Quality Directive • A long standing piece of legislation setting: • Technical specifications for fuels used in road and non-road mobile machinery • A target for reducing life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions

  3. Article 7a GHG emission reductions • Who is affected? • Suppliers of fuel (entities responsible for passing fuel through the excise duty point) as designated by the Member States • Electricity suppliers can choose to contribute to the reduction obligation if they can adequately measure and monitor electricity supplied for vehicle use

  4. Article 7a GHG emission reductions • What is to be reported by suppliers to Member State authorities? • Total volume of each type of fuel supplied • Total volume of electricity supplied • Place of purchase of the fuel • Origin of the fuel • Life-cycle GHG emissions per unit of energy

  5. Article 7a GHG emission reductions • Reduction obligation comprises: • A 6% reduction by 2020 from a 2010 baseline • Two indicative additional 2% steps based on: • - Use of electricity in vehicles and carbon capture and storage • - Clean development mechanism credits

  6. Article 7a GHG emission reductions • Other aspects: • GHG emissions from biofuels are calculated following the methodology contained in the FQD • On-going ILUC co-decision process proposes reporting indirect biofuel emissions • Suppliers may choose to meet the reduction target jointly

  7. Article 7a – implementation • Through "comitology acts": • A methodology for calculating life-cycle GHG emissions from: • - Fossil fuels • - Electricity compatible with Article 3(4) of the RED • A 2010 baseline • Rules to permit suppliers to meet the reduction target jointly
