Second generation should make the difference
The EU biofuels target for 2020 can be met with conventional feedstocks and current technology without major agricultural land use changes and environmental consequences. Yet only advanced, second-generation biofuels are expected to provide a substantial contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy security. The introduction of these advanced biofuels requires supporting measures on several policy levels. These are the key conclusions of the REFUEL project, commissioned by the EU's Intelligent Energy Europe programme. The project will present its final 'Biofuels Road Map' document on March 14th in Brussels, at the World Biofuels Markets event.
