In 2024, the European Commission recognized two additional crop-based biofuel feedstock categories under Annex IX of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). These categories include crops cultivated between main harvests on agricultural land and crops on severely degraded land, indicating a strategy to promote sustainable biofuel production.
The inclusion aims to ensure that these methods do not compete with food markets or encourage agricultural expansion. This regulatory change may impact the biofuel market by promoting new agricultural practices while ensuring land use does not detract from food production.
