CALCULATION OF THE FUEL BASELINE STANDARD OF FOSSIL FUELS

Council Directive (EU) 2015/652 of 20 April 2015 laying down calculation methods and reporting requirements pursuant to Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels · European Union

The fuel baseline standard is calculated based on Union average fossil fuel consumption of petrol, diesel, gasoil, LPG and CNG, as follows: Fuel baseline standardx(GHGi_(x)MJ_(x))xMJ_(x) where: ‘x’ represents the different fuels and energy falling within the scope of this Directive and as defined in the table below; ‘GHGi_(x)’ is the greenhouse gas intensity of the annual supply sold on the market of fuel ‘x’ or energy falling within the scope of this Directive expressed in gCO_(2eq)/MJ. The values for fossil fuels presented in point 5 of Part 2 of Annex I are used; ‘MJ_(x)’ is the total energy supplied and converted from reported volumes of fuel ‘x’ expressed in mega joules. Consumption data The consumption data used for calculation of the value is as follows: Fuel Energy Consumption (MJ) Source diesel 7894969 × 10^(6) 2010 Member States reporting to the UNFCCC non-road gasoil 240763 × 10^(6) petrol 3844356 × 10^(6) LPG 217563 × 10^(6) CNG 51037 × 10^(6) The fuel baseline standard for 2010 shall be: 94,1 gCO_(2eq)/MJ
