🇬🇧 English

The European Commission has officially recognised that the report submitted by Latvia on 23 July 2025 contains accurate typical greenhouse gas emission values for the cultivation of rapeseed in its NUTS 2 regions. This allows Latvia to use these country-specific typical values instead of the EU default values when calculating GHG emission savings for biofuels derived from rapeseed under Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The decision includes specific emission factors for rapeseed cultivation in Latvia, with a total value of 0.705 tonnes CO₂ eq per tonne of rapeseed harvested (dry matter basis). The recognition is valid until 21 April 2031, provided the data remains accurate.
