| Title | Analysis of Stakeholder Influence in the EU ILUC (Indirect Land Use Change) Consultation 2015 |
| Summary | This research would seek to locate power and influence within the Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) debate which resulted in Amendment 2015/1513 (on the effect of ILUC) to the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and Fuel Quality Directive. With complex arguments occupying a number of positions on ILUC, the EC initially proposed a reduction for the contribution of biofuels to 5%, from the initial 10% set out in the RED. The research will use document/content/discourse analysis in order to locate the main arguments/narratives from opposing camps in order to assess which discourse was more dominant in influencing the resulting amendment on what has been a heavily debated issue. The research aims to identify if the EU - often regarded as a norm setter in global environmental affairs - was influenced more effectively by either the environmental concerns or industrial interests in issuing an amendment to previous directives. |
