In sub-regulation (1) of regulation 33 of the principal

regulations, the words "Provided also that the energy content made by

biofuels produced from wastes, residues, non-food cellulosic material

and ligno-cellulosic material" shall be substituted by the following

Provided further that, the energy content made by

biofuels produced from feedstocks listed in Part H and

" S.L.545.28.

Part I of the Schedule to the Biofuels (Sustainability

Criteria) Regulations".

The Sixth Schedule to the principal regulations shall be

substituted by the following

"SIXTH SCHEDULE

[Regulation 33(1)]

The minimum amounts of biofuel expressed as a percentage

amount (%) which shall be released for consumption in the inland

market pre-blended with the MSA EN 228 petrol and, or MSA EN 590

diesel, and calculated by the energy content shall be

Energy content of biofuel ( + )

(MSA EN 228 & MSA EN 590)

Where

( + ) Energy content of biofuels produced from feedstocks listed in

Part H and Part I of the Schedule to the Biofuels (Sustainability

Criteria) Regulations shall be considered to be twice the energy

content of other biofuels.

( ++ ) Energy content of biofuel to be counted once irrespective of

Part H of the Schedule of the Biofuels (Sustainability Criteria)

Regulations shall be considered to be twice the energy content.

++

( )Energy content of biofuels to be counted once irrespective of

the feedstock.
