 Rules have been established by the commission to address a problem associated with thepotential indirect land use change that biofuel production may cause, since biofuel production usually takes place on former cropland.Since those crops will still be needed, it is possible that destroying forests or other natural areas may be necessary in order to increase agricultural land, which could potentially negate all emission reductions from the production of biofuels.The EU Commission on Energy introduced several new rules to address indirect land use change in 2015, in the form of amendments on the Renewable Energy Directive and Fuel Quality Directive.
