Abstract
When EU introduced the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) in 2009, one of the goals where that by 2020 every EU country should have 10% of their transportation running on biofuels. This made the market for biofuel rise and therefore also the exports of palm oil to the EU. In
2017, 3,9 million tons of palm oil was used for biofuels and that is a share of 51% of all palm oil imported in to the EU. In 2018, EU updated the RED and is now called REDII. One of the criteria was to phase-out crop-based biofuels with high Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) risk
by 2030. The palm oil used for biofuel in EU is questionable as an environmental and sustainable fuel. This thesis investigates the phase-out of crop-based biofuels with high ILUC risk by 2030 in EU, its impact on the palm oil market and
När EU introducerade Renewable Energy Directive (RED) 2009, var ett av målen att 10% av alla transportmedel i medlemsländerna skulle drivas på biobränsle år 2020. Införandet av direktivet ökade efterfrågan på biobränsle, det medförde att exporten av biobränsle till EU
växte. År 2017 användes 3,9 miljoner ton palmolja till biobränsle i EU. Det är 51% av all palmolja importerat till EU. RED uppdaterades år 2018 och fick namnet REDII. I den nya versionen sattes ett nytt mål upp; en utfasning av spannmålsbaserat biobränsle med hög risk för
Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC), utfasningen ska vara klar år 2030. Det är tveksamt om palmolja är ett bra alternativ som bränsle för att minska påverkan på miljön och som ett hållbart substitut till fossila bränslen. I denna uppsats undersöks utfasningen av spannmålsbaserat
biobränsle med hög risk för ILUC och dess påverkan på palmoljemarknaden och
