EU: Public consultation on biofuel issues

The European Commission has launched a public consultation on ‘biofuel issues in the new legislation on the promotion of renewable energy’, addressing issues such as how to achieve a 10% biofuel share and how to ensure environmental sustainability.

The consultation follows upon the recently adopted Energy Policy for Europe. This included a proposal for a binding 20% target for the overall share of renewable energy by 2020 and a binding 10% target for the share of biofuels in transport. The consultation is aimed at helping the Commission draft proposals on incorporating these targets into legislation.
