Strukturen des Biokraftstoffrechts in der Europäischen Union, Deutschland und Brasilien

The present study deals with the structures of biomass fuel law in force within the European Union, Germany and Brazil. Following a description of the biomass fuels sector and the phenomenology of biomass fuels, the fundamental structures of EU biomass fuel law are analysed, taking into account the modifications driven by the directive (EU) 2015/1513 in consideration of indirect land-use change (iLUC). A matter of particular importance and observance are the sustainability criteria, understood as the ecological centerpiece of European regulation on biomass fuels and its transformation into German biomass fuel law. This is followed by a reappraisal and comparative analysis of Brazilian biomass fuel regulation including the answer to the final (key) question of whether the structures and instruments of Brazilian law provide a framework for the integration of sustainability criteria according to the European role model.
