#32026D0364Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/364 recognising accurate Dutch data for greenhouse gas emissions from cultivation of winter wheat, sugar beet, grain maize and winter rapeseed
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The European Commission has officially recognised that the report submitted by the Netherlands on 2 July 2025 contains accurate typical greenhouse gas emission values for the cultivation of winter wheat, sugar beet, grain maize, and winter rapeseed in all Dutch NUTS 2 regions. These values may now be used instead of the default values in Annexes V and VI of the Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001 when calculating emission savings for biofuels produced from these crops. The decision includes detailed tables with emission figures (in g CO2-eq/kg dry matter) broken down by NUTS 2 region and emission source such as soil N2O, fertiliser production, fuel use, and pesticide manufacturing. The recognition remains valid until 12 March 2031 provided the data does not change significantly.

Key Changes
- Recognition of typical GHG emission values for winter wheat, sugar beet, grain maize and winter rapeseed in all 12 Dutch NUTS 2 regions
- Values replace default Annex V/VI figures for emission savings calculations under Directive (EU) 2018/2001
- Decision enters into force on the twentieth day after publication in the Official Journal

What this law requires
The Netherlands must immediately notify the Commission if the greenhouse gas emission data contained in the report submitted on 2 July 2025 changes in a way that might affect the accuracy of the data.
When calculating emission savings for biofuels produced from winter wheat, sugar beet, grain maize, and winter rapeseed, use the specific emission values provided in the Annex tables for each NUTS 2 region instead of the default values in Annexes V and VI of Directive (EU) 2018/2001.
The Commission must assess any notified changes to the greenhouse gas emission data to determine whether the report still provides accurate data and remains a valid basis for this Decision.
Continue to apply the recognized greenhouse gas emission values for Dutch agricultural crops only until 12 March 2031, after which the recognition expires unless renewed.
