sch.1-sec.1 What is the greenhouse gas criterion
For this schedule, the greenhouse gas criterion for biofuel is that the greenhouse gas emissions for the production and use of the biofuel are at least 20% less than the greenhouse gas emissions for the production and use of the relevant equivalent fuel. Whether biofuel meets the criterion mentioned in subsection (1) must be worked out using— a lifecycle assessment complying with both of the following standards— ISO 14040:2006; ISO 14044:2006; or for biofuel mentioned in section 5 that is appropriately certified under section 5 (2) (b) —the RSB lifecycle methodology. In this section— relevant equivalent fuel means— for biobased petrol—regular petrol; or for biobased diesel—diesel. RSB lifecycle methodology means the RSB lifecycle GHG emission calculation methodology under the RSB global standard. sch 1 s 1 amd 2019 SL No. 220 s 4 (1) – (2) (sch.1-sec.1-ssec.1) For this schedule, the greenhouse gas criterion for biofuel is that the greenhouse gas emissions for the production and use of the biofuel are at least 20% less than the greenhouse gas emissions for the production and use of the relevant equivalent fuel. (sch.1-sec.1-ssec.2) Whether biofuel meets the criterion mentioned in subsection (1) must be worked out using— a lifecycle assessment complying with both of the following standards— ISO 14040:2006; ISO 14044:2006; or for biofuel mentioned in section 5 that is appropriately certified under section 5 (2) (b) —the RSB lifecycle methodology.
