The allocation of biodiesel production volumes regulation establishes a participation process among qualified biodiesel plants so as to allocate for a two year period biodiesel production quotas that will be eligible to count towards the biofuel mandatory targets that fuel sector operators are obliged to include in their sales. The total amount of biodiesel distributed among producers eligible to count towards target achievement will be 5,5 million tons per year. The biodiesel production quota assigned to each plant is defined according to the level of fulfilment of the following criteria: environmental protection, security of energy, security of supply, biodiesel annual production capacity (properly audited) of the plant and its economic and financial viability. The procedure was open to plants from Europe or from other part of the world. IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]
