These were initially introduced as reporting requirements from April 2014, with the intention of bringing in mandatory criteria from April 2015.

It is the responsibility of generators to determine where in their supply chain the saving is made.</p><p>Power suppliers using bioliquids have had to comply with the Renewable Energy Directive’s sustainability criteria since 2011, which includes a 35% minimum greenhouse gas emissions saving.
