EWABA says European limits to waste feedstocks no longer reflect market reality
In Belgium, the European Waste Based and Advanced Biofuels Association says that despite stronger safeguards and an expanded feedstock base, EU policy still imposes a 1.7% contribution cap on fuels produced from Annex IX Part B feedstocks, such as used cooking oil and animal fats. This limit no longer reflects today’s market reality.
More eligible feedstocks are now recognised under EU law. Collection systems have expanded. Traceability has improved. Yet the cap remains unchanged.
The result is a policy framework that limits the use of fuels already delivering real emission reductions today. At a time of energy uncertainty and rising climate ambition, this restriction is increasingly difficult to justify. More sustainable feedstocks and stronger safeguards should enable greater climate ambition – not artificial limits on renewable fuel use.
