  • Area of Crops Grown for Bioenergy in England and the UK: 2008 - 2013 Key Messages
    Published 25th November 2014 Area of Crops Grown For Bioenergy in England and the UK: 2008 - 2013 Key Messages An estimated 51 thousand hectares of agricultural land in the UK were used for bioenergy in 2013. The area of crops grown for bioenergy equated to 0.8% of all arable land in the UK in 2013. Just over 80% (42 thousand hectares) of the land used for bioenergy in 2013 was for biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol) crops for the UK road transport market. Provisional estimates indicate that 787 thousand tonnes of UK produced crops were used for the UK road transport market in 2013/14. In 2014, maize grown for use in anaerobic digestion accounted for 17% (29,373 hectares) of the total maize area in England, which was 0.5% of England’s total arable area. Figures relating to biofuel used for road transport in 2013/14 are provisional based on the data currently available. This shows that, of the total volume of renewable fuel supplied in 2013/14, 99.8% (1,740 million litres) has so far been demonstrated to meet the sustainability requirements (see Annex B for more details). The next update to this statistical release is anticipated in autumn 2015. Once confirmed the exact date will be published on the internet at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements?utf8=%E2%9C%93&keywords=&topics%5 B%5D=&organisations%5B%5D=department-for-environment-food-rural- affairs&from_date=&to_date=&commit=Refresh+results Revisions Following advice from The Department for Transport, the conversion factors used to derive crop tonnages are now sourced from the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation Guidance at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rtfo-guidance.

We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its impacts, including flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal erosion. We improve the quality of our water, land and air by tackling pollution. We work with businesses to help them comply with environmental regulations. A healthy and diverse environment enhances people's lives and contributes to economic growth. We can’t do this alone. We work as part of the Defra group (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), with the rest of government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and local communities to create a better place for people and wildlife.

  • 1 EUROPEAN UNION: ESTIMATES of SUPPORT to AGRICULTURE Contact Person
    EUROPEAN UNION: ESTIMATES OF SUPPORT TO AGRICULTURE Contact person: Morvarid BAGHERZADEH Email: [email protected] Tel: 33 (0)1 45 24 95 54 Fax: 33 (0)1 44 30 61 01 DEFINITIONS AND SOURCES Table 1. Agricultural Support Estimates / Total Transfers contains country Total Support Estimate (TSE) and derived indicators, which cover all agricultural production, i.e. all agricultural commodities produced in the country. Definitions of basic data sets refer to the specific programmes applied in the country. For the Producer Support Estimate (PSE) and Consumer Support Estimate (CSE), each policy measure is classified according to implementation criteria, which include: the transfer basis of support (output, input, area/animal numbers/receipts/income, and non-commodity criteria); whether support is based on current or non-current basis; whether production is required or not to receive payment. Each policy measure is also assigned several “labels” indicating additional implementation criteria. "MPS commodities", which vary across countries, are those for which the market price support is explicitly calculated in Tables 4.1 – 4.21. Table 2. Breakdown of PSE by Commodity and Other Transfers provides a breakdown of the total PSE into four categories reflecting the flexibility given to farmers regarding which commodity to produce within the various policy measures. These categories are: Single Commodity Transfers (SCT); Group Commodity Transfers (GCT); All Commodity Transfers (ACT); and Other Transfers to Producers (OTP). All data sets in Table 2 come from Tables 1 and 3.1 – 3.21 where definitions are included. Tables 3.1 – 3.21 Producer Single Commodity Transfers contain producer SCT by commodity, which are calculated for the European Union for the following commodities: wheat (common wheat, durum wheat), maize, other grains (barley, oats), rice, oilseeds (soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed), sugar, milk, beef and veal, pig meat, poultry meat, and eggs (Tables 3.1-3.20) provided that the value of production of that commodity exceeds 1% of the total value of production.
