In December 2014, the Dutch energy sector and NGOs agreed upon the sustainability criteria for biomass but couldn’t agree on the time path for complying with these criteria. With the absence of a comprehensive agreement, the responsibility for taking a decision shifted to the Dutch Government. This report is a brief summary of the sustainability criteria and the conditions they will be implemented. The Dutch Government’s proposal is scheduled to be discussed in the Parliament on January 15, 2015.
