Biofuel issues in the new legislation on the promotion of renewable energy

Apr 2007

The European Commission takes into account the views of stakeholders as expressed in 2006 consultation exercises on heating and cooling and biofuels and the recent consultation exercise on administrative obstacles to the increased use of renewable energy in electricity generation.
The present consultation document complements those exercises. The Commission would like to know the views of public authorities, businesses, non-governmental organisations and other interested parties on the following questions:
1) How should a biofuel sustainability system be designed?
2) How should overall effects on land use be monitored?
3) How should the use of second-generation biofuels be encouraged?
4) What further action is needed to make it possible to achieve a 10% biofuel share?
