Re: European Council debate on the Framework for climate and energy post 2020
Dear Mr Maniatis,
On March 21stthe European Council will hold a policy debate on the framework for climate andenergy post 2020, based on the European Commissions Communication presented in January. As
usual, this will lead to Councils Conclusions that will guide further policy decisions in the differentformations of the Council as well as at the Commission level.
The undersigned organizations, representing all stages of the EU biofuels chain from trade andprocessing to the production of biodiesel and ethanol, very much welcome the attention given tothis topic which is of the utmost importance both for the well-being of future generations and for
the economy of the European Union.
As you discuss the need for a GHG emission reduction target and possible energy efficiencymeasures, we call on you to send a strong political signal as regards the need to decarbonise theEU transport sector. The main arguments are:
Since 1990 EU transport emissions have increased by 36% and are now responsible forabout 28% of EUs total greenhouse gas emissions. EU transportation is the only sectorwhere GHG emission keep rising contrary to the reduction of CO2 emissions and fossilfuel consumption of all other sectors and this is unacceptable.
Should transport be neglected in the future policies for tackling climate change, an extraburden would automatically fall on all other sectors (EU industry, Agriculture, Energy, carmanufacturers) in order to meet the general target of 40 % CO2 reduction in 2030.
The EUs dependence on imported oil is still increasing. In particular, the EU transportsector is 94% dependent on oil, 84% of which imported. Most often, the suppliers arefrom politically unstable countries or countries that leverage their strategic role in otherareas, such as Russia.
According to existing legislation, 10% of all energy in transport needs to be sourced from
renewable fuels by 2020. The EU is on its way to meet this target and together with globaldevelopments, this approach has had a dampening effect on oil prices, which may very wellexceed the extra costs involved in developing alternative transport solutions. The absence of a

clear political signal for decarbonizing transportation will have a devastating effect on furtherinvestments in a sector that remains strategic for the EU.
This is why we would support that a paragraph mentioning that The European Council takesnote of the growing share of the EUs total greenhouse gas emissionscoming from transport andinvites the European Commission to further reflect on measures to curb the sectors emissions
beyond 2020 notably through the use of renewable energy to be considered as a potentialadditional point to March 2014 European Council Conclusions.
We hope that you will take our concerns into consideration and look forward to an encouragingpolitical decision that the EU transport sector should make targeted efforts to reduce itsdependency on fossil fuels and imports.
Yours faithfully,

Wirtschaft fordert ambitioniertes EU-Klima- und EnergiepaketDie Stiftung 2 sowie 12 deutsche Unternehmen und Verbnde appellieren in einem
offenen Brief an Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel fr mehr Engagement fr den Klimaschutz
in entscheidender EU-Diskussion
Brssel/Berlin, 19. Mrz 2014 In einem offenen Brief fordert die Stiftung 2 gemeinsam
mit 12 deutschen Unternehmen und Verbnden Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel auf, sich bei
den Verhandlungen des Europisches Gipfels zum Klima- und Energiepaket 2030 am 20. und21. Mrz 2014 fr klare Zielvorgaben einzusetzen, die die EU auf einen glaubwrdigen und
wachstumsfrdernden Klimaschutzpfad bringen. Die Vorschlge der Europischen
Kommission fr das 2030-Paket reichen dabei als Grundlage keinesfalls aus.
Die jetzigen Entwrfe greifen zu kurz, sowohl beim Schutz des Klimas als auch bei der
Strkung des Wirtschaftsstandorts Europa, so Dr. Michael Otto, Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender
der Otto Group und Prsidiumsvorsitzender der Stiftung 2. Die deutsche Regierung hat
allerdings die Gelegenheit, einer Vielzahl von international erfolgreichen, innovativen und
nachhaltig wirtschaftenden Unternehmen weiterhin die bentigten Rahmenbedingungenbereitzustellen. Sie muss sich auch aus wirtschaftlichem Interesse jetzt fr mehr
Klimaschutz einsetzen.
Der Europische Rat entscheidet in diesen Tagen ber die Zukunft des Innovations- und
Investitionsstandorts Europa, stimmt ihm Max Schn, Vorstand der Stiftung 2, zu. Dem
Privatsektor fehlt derzeit Investitionssicherheit, um in CO2-arme Technologien zu investieren.
Die deutsche Regierung muss sich nachdrcklich fr drei Ziele mit gleichrangigem politischen
Stellenwert einsetzen, um die Wettbewerbsfhigkeit unserer Wirtschaft, bezahlbare
Energiepreise, Versorgungssicherheit und einen erfolgreichen Klimaschutz sicherzustellen.
Die unterzeichnenden Unternehmen darunter auch Alstom, EnBW, die Deutsche Bahn,
Gegenbauer sowie Knauf und Solarworld rufen in ihrem offenen Brief die Bundeskanzlerin
auf, sich im Europischen Rat fr die folgenden Punkte einzusetzen:
- ein Treibhausgasziel von mehr als 40 Prozent heimischer Reduktion- drei auf europischer und auf nationaler Ebene verbindliche und ambitionierte 2030-
Ziele fr die Reduktion der Treibhausgasemissionen, den Ausbau der Erneuerbaren
Energien und die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz
- eine Reform des Emissionshandels, die vor 2021 ansetzt.

Auto industry contributes to Council discussions on EUs future climate and
energy policy
Brussels, 19 March 2014Ahead of tomorrows European summit, the European Automobile Manufacturers
Association (ACEA) put forward its key recommendations for Europes climate and energy policy. In an open
letter to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, the CEOs of Europes 15 major vehicle
manufacturers call for greater balance between climate objectives and global competitiveness, as well as a
level playing field across industries
Europes cars, vans, trucks and buses currently have the highest environmental standards in the world, and
our industry is committed to further progress, stated ACEA President and CEO of PSA Peugeot Citron,
Philippe Varin. However, greenhouse gas emission and renewable energy targets must not be set at the
expense of industry's growth and competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Europes automobile industry directly or indirectly supports 13 million jobs in Europe, is responsible for 32
billion in annual R&D investment, and contributes 95.7 billion in net exports to the EU economy. As a key
pillar of Europes industrial base, our sector fully supports the Commission's objective of raising industrys
contribution to GDP to 20% by 2020, stated ACEA Secretary General, Erik Jonnaert. If this vision is to be
achieved, the EU's industrial renaissance and climate protection must go hand-in-hand, as part of an integrated
EU policy.
In the letter, ACEAalso urged political leaders to ensure equivalent targets for all industry sectors: No other
industry sector has done as much in driving down emission levels, both from its products and its production
sites, as the auto sector. Looking ahead, it is important that all stakeholders contribute equally to achieving the
EUs future climate objectives.

Open letter to Heads of States and governments in the perspective of the
European Council Meeting 20-21 March 2014
Time to align EU industrial, climate and energy policies
Brussels, 17 March 2014
Dear Presidents,Dear Prime Ministers,
We are writing to you as the business leaders of the aluminium industry in Europe, a sector that
provides 250,000 direct and over 1 million indirect jobs. The aluminium that we produce,
transform and recycle is an essential material for the transition to a low carbon economy.
The aluminium industry supports ambitious climate targets provided that the following measures
are taken to shield industries that are most exposed to global competition:
Cost compensation measuresmust address at EU level the sectors inability to pass
through EUETS indirect costsembedded into electricity prices which for the aluminium
sector are six times higher than direct costs.
To preserve the competitiveness of our industry beyond 2020, free allocationsfor ETS
direct costs must be continued beyond the due expiration date of 2020 for the most
exposed sectors. The European Commission should provide legal certainty on the state aid and
compensation measures for energy-intensive-industries - such as those subject toglobal market prices - from the costs of energy support schemes and for enabling longterm energy supply contracts which are vital to attracting and maintaining investments inthe aluminium sector.
High energy prices and the unilateral cost burden of EU climate and energy policies are crippling
European producers ability to compete, as confirmed by a 2013 European Commission study on
the aluminium industry1.
As a result, production in Europe is declining at an alarming rate, with over a third of EU27
primary production capacity lost since 2007 and the downstream segments margins severely
affected by rising energy prices and other legislative related costs. This not only risks the long-
term viability of an entire value-chain, but also increases Europes dependency on imports, with
dramatic implications for employment and capital investment.
The aluminium industry is one of the few industrial sectors for which demand is consistently
growing despite the economic crisis. The EUs global competitors have chosen aluminium as one
of the key strategic materials for achieving sustainable growth and are putting in place the right
business conditions to boost the sectors competitiveness in their regions.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF BIOFUELS IN TRANSPORT SUSTAINABILITY POST- 2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Emisia - Dr. Petros Katsis, Dr. Giorgos Mellios, Asst. Prof. Leonidas Ntziachristos - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
The new Commission 2030 framework on climate and energy excludes mandatory targets for GHG reduction in
transport and for the share of renewables in the transport energy mix. This is expected to affect the sustainability of
transport. This report provides different scenarios on what the new framework may entail in terms of transport
sustainability and CO2emissions.
The first scenario forecasts a business-as-usual development of biofuels following deployment of current legislation
(i.e. FQD 2009/30, RED 2009/28). The second scenario (no biofuels)simulates the impact of the approval of present
Commission proposal assuming the same development of energy consumption in transport, yet absence of post 2020
targets leads to gradual shift back to 100% fossil fuels basis and 0% biofuels content is assumed from 2025. The third
scenario (dynamic)provides for an average increase to 80% for biofuels GHG savings in 2040, achieved mainly byreducing the CO2intensity of inputs and by diversifying feed-stocks (increased use of waste and residues).
Incidence on biofuels incorporation in transports
The report highlights that if the present Commission proposal was to be adopted, transport, which represents today
27.8% of total EU man-made CO2emissions, would increase up to represent 45% of total EU emissions (all sectors)
in 2050. This could be curtailed to approximately 40% with the use of biofuels. In the medium term, the abolishment
of biofuels is projected to lead to an additional 77-90 Mt of CO2 emissions by 2030, depending on the scenario
considered. This equals to 2.7-3.1% of total man-made CO2emissions in 2030 that will otherwise have to be reduced
in the other sectors or with other technical means.
Forecast evolution of CO2 emissions in transport to 2050If EU target policies (RED and FQD) will be abandoned in the EU transport sector, then it should be expected that the
role of biofuels will decrease, with significant negative consequences on the contribution of transport to total
greenhouse gas emissions and increasing risk of failing the renewable energy targets.
If biofuels input was to be substituted by electric vehicles, this would require several million of electric vehicles by
2020 to achieve the same renewable energy contribution (taking into account the higher efficiency of electric vehicles
and the sustainability index of electricity). This means that reaching the renewable targets without biofuels requires
unrealistic numbers of total electric vehicles circulation, especially in the short to medium term.
Important additional burden shift on other sectors of EU economy (especially non-ETS) to reduce increasing GHG in
transport
This study concludes that the softening or abolishment of biofuel specific targets in transport will bring significant
additional burden to other transport modes. This becomes increasingly challenging given that the target for total CO2
reductions has been set to 40% in 2030. Without biofuels in place, the reduction of CO 2will fall into engine efficiency
improvements, alternative fuels, infrastructural changes, and others. Beyond the technical difficulties that this raises,
it also results to additional costs and to potential obstacles due to the behavioural changes that such modifications
require.
Under present Commission announced strategy, the biofuel use in road transport will shrink and GHG in transport
corresponding reductions will have to be reached by other sectors and mainly by non-ETS sectors such as the building
and agriculture. The interim targets for GHG reductions in the non-ETS sectors are 30% lower emissions in 2030 thanin 2005.

Open letter to EUs Heads of State and Government- Crisis in Ukraine and energy dependency:
investing in renewables for heating and cooling will bring security of supply and more
competitiveness
Open letter to EUs Heads of State and Government
Crisis in Ukraine and energy dependency: investing in renewables for heating and cooling will bring
security of supply and more competitiveness
EU could save EUR 11.5 billion per year, announces the industry
Brussels, 19th March, 2014
AEBIOM, EGEC and ESTIF representing the biomass, geothermal and solar thermal sectors
respectively, address an open letter to the Heads of State and Government, ahead of their spring
meeting in Brussels.
The growing uncertainties over the crisis in Ukraine show once again all the limits of Europes energy
dependency. According to Eurostat ,
about one third of EUs total crude oil (34.5%) and natural gas (31.5%) imports in 2010 originated
from Russia. The EU energy dependency contributed not only to weaken our geopolitical influence
on the international arena but fuelled the dramatic GDP-leakage with the EU having spent 545
billion or 4.2% of its GDP on importing fossil fuels in 2012 alone.
Part of that fuel (in the form of natural gas and heating oil) is used for heating our houses, our offices
or for industrial purposes. These energy services alone account for half the EUs energy needs. In
these sectors, however, readily available renewable energy solutions, combined with energy
efficiency measures, are a practical and versatile option to alleviate our fossil fuels dependency. This
option is also much more environmentally constructive and beneficial than developing shale gas in
Europe.
Achieving the additional renewable energy consumption in heating and cooling foreseen by Member
States between 2011 and 2020[1] could allow the EU to reduce its import of natural gas from third
countries by the equivalent of 35 Mtoe per year from 2020. With current import prices ($11.5/
MMBtu or EUR 8.4/MMBtu)[2], this would save the EU as a whole some EUR 11.5 billion per year.
Over recent years, the lack of awareness and political support to renewables for heating and cooling
has meant only modest market development in the sector. However, in view of the upcoming
discussion of the European Council on EU climate and energy policies beyond 2020, there is a great
opportunity to invert this trend.
Decarbonising our energy sector should not be regarded as a burden, but rather as an opportunity
for Europes industrial renaissance. Clear pledges on renewables for heating and cooling and energy
efficiency will increase EUs energy independence, while improving our balance of trade, creating a
substantial amount of new local jobs and ensure stable and affordable energy prices to our
consumers and industries.
