1. HGCA response to RFA call for Evidence Alastair Dickie Director, Crop Marketing, HGCA

2. Question 2: How are GHG-savings of different biofuels affected by displaced agricultural activity and resulting land-use change? How may this be affected in the future by the introduction of advanced technologies, use of marginal land and other improvements in production?

3. Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions OPTION 1 UK-grown oilseed rape converted to biodiesel and the resulting meal used for livestock feed 57%* reduction in primary energy consumption 66%* net savings of carbon dioxide emissions OPTION 2 Oilseed rape converted to biodiesel and resulting meal used as an energy source 97%* in primary energy consumption 94%* net savings of carbon dioxide emissions * Compared with conventional ultra-low sulphur diesel production Source: HGCA

4. Carbon and Energy saving - benefits of bio-fuels

5. HGCA Greenhouse Gas calculators Developed for: OSR to bio-diesel Wheat to ethanol

6. Carbon Footprint - how do we measure that?

7. Net Calculation:

8. Brazil – ethanol market keeps expanding - ethanol is cheaper than petrol in Brazil Source: FO Lichts

9. US in the future - forget CO 2 savings, think ‘security of supplies’

10. Future Ethanol Consumption - the world is just starting to develop biofuels

11. EU biodiesel production is still rising - biofuels obligations will expand vegetable oil use

12. … let’s work together to improve our world Thank you
