+Article 29 1.

Article 29 1.

Energy from biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels shall be taken into account for the purposes referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of this subparagraph only if they fulfil the sustainability and the greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria laid down in paragraphs 2 to 7 and 10:

▼M2

(a) 

contributing towards the renewable energy shares of Member States and the targets set in Article 3(1), Article 15a(1), Article 22a(1), Article 23(1), Article 24(4), and Article 25(1);

▼B

(b) 

measuring compliance with renewable energy obligations, including the obligation laid down in Article 25;

(c) 

eligibility for financial support for the consumption of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels.

However, biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels produced from waste and residues, other than agricultural, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry residues, are required to fulfil only the greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria laid down in paragraph 10 in order to be taken into account for the purposes referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph. In the case of the use of mixed wastes, Member States may require operators to apply mixed waste sorting systems that aim to remove fossil materials. This subparagraph shall also apply to waste and residues that are first processed into a product before being further processed into biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels.

Electricity, heating and cooling produced from municipal solid waste shall not be subject to the greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria laid down in paragraph 10.

Biomass fuels shall fulfil the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria laid down in paragraphs 2 to 7 and 10 if used:

(a) 

in the case of solid biomass fuels, in installations producing electricity, heating and cooling with a total rated thermal input equal to or exceeding 7,5 MW;

(b) 

in the case of gaseous biomass fuels, in installations producing electricity, heating and cooling with a total rated thermal input equal to or exceeding 2 MW;

(c) 

in the case of installations producing gaseous biomass fuels with the following average biomethane flow rate:

(i) 

above 200 m3 methane equivalent/h measured at standard conditions of temperature and pressure, namely 0 °C and 1 bar atmospheric pressure;

(ii) 

if biogas is composed of a mixture of methane and non-combustible other gas, for the methane flow rate, the threshold set out in point (i), recalculated proportionally to the volumetric share of methane in the mixture.

Member States may apply the sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria to installations with lower total rated thermal input or biomethane flow rate.

The sustainability and the greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria laid down in paragraphs 2 to 7 and 10 shall apply irrespective of the geographical origin of the biomass.
