SLIDE 3

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions levels by 20% Increase share of Renewables to 20%

Reductions in 2012:

2020 Targets 2020 Projection Share in 2013: 15.0% 2020 Projection 2020 Projection

Climate and energy: where do we stand?

Reduce energy consumption by 20%

~ 16-20 %

SLIDE 4

. Fuel Quality Directive (FQD)

» 6% greenhouse gas reduction target in carbon

intensity of road transport fuels in 2020

. Renewable Energy Directive (RED)

» 20% share of renewable energy by 2020 » 10% renewable energy in transport by 2020

Significant contribution to both targets expected to come from biofuels (mainly 1G, food and feed crop-based)

Framework for renewables in transport

SLIDE 5

ILUC Directive

Main objective: Limit the indirect effects of EU biofuels policy Main measures:

» 7% cap for food based biofuels » Incentives for use of electricity in transport » Incentives for advanced renewable fuels

Count double
Indicative Sub-target

» Changes to GHG emissions savings threshold » ILUC reporting

SLIDE 6

Relevant for renewable methanol

» Definition: "renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels

f non-biological origin" means gaseous or liquid fuels
ther than biofuels whose energy content comes from

renewable energy sources other than biomass, which are used in transport.

» Rules how to calculate RES share » "renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-

biological origin" count double against RES-T

» "renewable liquid and gaseous transport fuels of non-

biological origin" count towards sub target

SLIDE 7

Climate and energy: where do we stand?

Renewable energy saw rapid cost decreases Technologies are gradually becoming competitive Impact of the financial crisis Fall in private investment, tight financing conditions Rising demand

> rising prices

By 2030, world economy set to double and energy demand to rise by 1/3 Review of nuclear policies at national level Shale gas

US oil and gas production Unconventional gas Conventional gas Unconventional oil Conventional oil

Energy security Crisis in Ukraine

Ongoing work

2015

International: Paris UNFCCC conference Summer 2016:

The Commission will propose legislation to achieve the greenhouse gas reduction target.

Communication on decarbonisation of transport End of 2016

Propose for a new Renewable Energy Package including a new policy for sustainable biomass and biofuels
