Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (recast) (Text with EEA relevance.) · European Union

Greenhouse gas emissions from biomass fuels shall be expressed as follows: greenhouse gas emissions from biomass fuels, E, shall be expressed in terms of grams of CO_(2) equivalent per MJ of biomass fuel, g CO_(2)eq/MJ; greenhouse gas emissions from heating or electricity, produced from biomass fuels, EC, shall be expressed in terms of grams of CO_(2) equivalent per MJ of final energy commodity (heat or electricity), g CO_(2)eq/MJ. When heating and cooling are co-generated with electricity, emissions shall be allocated between heat and electricity (as under point 1(d)), irrespective if the heat is used for actual heating purposes or for cooling. Heat or waste heat is used to generate cooling (chilled air or water) through absorption chillers. Therefore, it is appropriate to calculate only the emissions associated to the heat produced, per MJ of heat, irrespectively if the end-use of the heat is actual heating or cooling via absorption chillers. Where the greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials e_(ec) are expressed in unit g CO_(2)eq/dry-ton of feedstock, the conversion to grams of CO_(2) equivalent per MJ of fuel, g CO_(2)eq /MJ, shall be calculated as follows The formula for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials eec describes cases where feedstock is converted into biofuels in one step. For more complex supply chains, adjustments are needed for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction or cultivation of raw materials eec for intermediate products. : e_(ec)fuel_(a)gCO_(2)eqMJ fuel_(ec)e_(ec)feedstock_(a)gCO_(2)eqt_(dry)LHV_(a)MJ feedstockt dry feedstockFuel feedstock factor_(a)Allocation factor fuel_(a) Where Allocation factor fuel_(a)Energy in fuelEnergy fuelEnergy in co-products Fuel feedstock factor_(a)Ratio of MJ feedstock required to make 1 MJ fuel Emissions per dry-ton feedstock shall be calculated as follows: e_(ec)feedstock_(a)gCO_(2)eqt_(dry)e_(ec)feedstock_(a)gCO_(2)eqt_(moist)(1moisture content)
