Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 28)

ANNEX V U.K. Rules for calculating the greenhouse gas impact of biofuels, bioliquids and their fossil fuel comparators

E. Estimated disaggregated default values for future biofuels and bioliquids that were not on the market or were only on the market in negligible quantities in January 2008 U.K.

Disaggregated default values for cultivation: ‘e_ec ’ as defined in part C of this Annex U.K.
