1. In this Schedule—
“chain of installations” means, in respect of any consignment of renewable transport fuel, all of the processing installations the use of which leads to a material modification from any of the relevant feedstock to the finished fuel. It does not include installations solely used for the collection, transportation or storage of the feedstocks;

[F112.—(1) To the extent that renewable transport fuel was produced from a feedstock listed in column (2) of the table below, that feedstock meets the sustainability criteria if it meets the conditions specified, in relation to the feedstock concerned, in column (3) of the table.
(1) Entry number | (2) Feedstock | (3) Conditions that the feedstock must meet in order to meet the sustainability criteria |
---|---|---|
1 | Forest biomass, including residues from forestry or wastes from forestry | The GHG emission saving threshold and the forest criteria |
2 | Residues, including processing residues, which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry | The GHG emission saving threshold |
3 | Wastes, which are not wastes from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry | The GHG emission saving threshold |
4 | Residues from agriculture or wastes from agriculture | The GHG emission saving threshold, the land criteria and the soil carbon criteria |
5 | Renewable energy of non-biomass origin | The GHG emission saving threshold |
6 | Any feedstock not falling within entries 1 to 5 above | The GHG emission saving threshold and the land criteria |
(2) A relevant feedstock meets the soil carbon criteria if the renewable transport fuel supplier provides evidence, by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m), that satisfies the Administrator that adequate monitoring or management plans are in place for the land concerned which address the impacts on soil quality and soil carbon of the harvesting of the relevant feedstock from that land.
(3) In the table, “GHG emission saving threshold” means the threshold established in accordance with paragraph 3.]

F11Sch. 1 para. 2 substituted (1.1.2022) by The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligations (Amendment) Order 2021 (S.I. 2021/1420), arts. 1, 13(4) (with art. 16)
3.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), an amount of renewable transport fuel meets the GHG emission saving threshold if the GHG emission saving from its use is equal to or greater than the minimum GHG emission saving applicable to that fuel as specified in paragraph 4.
(2) If the renewable transport fuel is produced partly from raw materials other than sustainable feedstocks, the minimum GHG emission saving for the purposes of this Schedule applies only to the volume of that fuel whichF12...—
(a)[F13is] attributable to sustainable feedstocks; F14...
[F15(b)is produced from residues (including processing residues) which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry;
(c)is produced from wastes which are not residues from agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries or forestry; or
(d)consists of RFNBO.]
(3) The GHG emission saving from the use of an amount of renewable transport fuel [F16of a type falling within sub-paragraph (2)] is the greater of—
(a)where applicable, the default value determined [F17by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m)]; and
(b)the actual value determined [F18by reference to the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m)].
[F19(4) The GHG emission saving from the use of an amount of renewable transport fuel which consists of RFNBO is determined by reference to [F20the guidance published by the Administrator under article 15(1)(m)].]
