Article 7a of the directive says lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from transport fuels must be reduced by 6% by 2020, a move environmental NGOs welcomed when it was agreed upon two years ago. Fuels produced from highly greenhouse-gas-intensive tar sands would thus be treated the same as less damaging sources of oil.
