Aim of the BioGrace project

The project BioGrace aims to harmonise calculations of biofuel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus supports the implementation of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC) and the EU Fuel Quality Directive (2009/30/EC) into national laws.

We will publish a uniform and transparent list of standard conversion values for GHG calculations, and we will elaborate Excel files as well as user-friendly GHG calculators for economic operators, auditors, and advisors to perform the GHG calculation step by step on their own. We will do this for the 22 most important biofuel production pathways cited in both directives.

Project results shall be disseminated to European stakeholders through a website, meetings, and a series of workshops. National policy makers will be asked to make reference to the list of standard conversion values in their national legislation.
