102 R<strong>en</strong>ewable Energy Sources in Figures<br />

Direct and indirect land use changes – which play a major role in cultivated biomass – are<br />

not tak<strong>en</strong> into account in the calculations for 2010. Since land use changes may cause high<br />

emissions of gr<strong>ee</strong>nhouse gases and are therefore of considerable relevance, they ought to be<br />

included in the accounts. Methodological approaches for indirect land use changes are curr<strong>en</strong>tly<br />

being developed, by the European Commission among others. Since January 2011,<br />

direct land use changes have largely b<strong>ee</strong>n ruled out by the provisions of the Biofuels Sustainability<br />

Ordinance.<br />

6. Fossil fuel savings due to r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy sources<br />

The calculation of the fossil <strong>en</strong>ergy savings achieved by using r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy sources in<br />

the electricity, heat and transport sectors is closely based on the methods and data sources of<br />

the emission balances (s<strong>ee</strong> also Annex, Section 3-5). Dep<strong>en</strong>ding on the substitution ratio, the<br />

various r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy supply paths save differ<strong>en</strong>t fossil fuels including the n<strong>ee</strong>d for their<br />

upstream chains.<br />

The saving of fossil fuels in the electricity sector is<br />

calculated from the r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy substitution factors<br />

determined by Klobasa et al. [88] (cf. Annex, Section<br />

3), the average fuel effici<strong>en</strong>cies of German power<br />

plants, and the cumulative primary <strong>en</strong>ergy n<strong>ee</strong>ded to<br />

make the fossil fuels available.<br />
