Biofuels - Topping up the fuel mix – Project Report - 16 projects funded by the Intelligent Energy-Europe programme

Apr 2008

Biofuels projects co-funded by the Intelligent Energy-Europe programme (IEE) aim to stimulate action at all levels, throughout the supply chain, across the European Union. The overall aim is to increase the production and use of greener, alternative fuels whilst at the same time improving their economic competitiveness and minimising their environmental impacts.
The projects also aim to transfer experience and understanding of the use of biofuels. They should help ensure that regions where markets are less developed benefit from the experience of those who are further down the path. They should also develop business opportunities in agricultural communities and promote contacts between different actors, while at the same time offering training to professionals, farmers, technicians and craftsmen. Nearly all projects involve new Member States.
Ongoing projects can be grouped into three main areas:

  • Projects promoting the development of local biofuel supply chains.
  • Projects stimulating the demand for alternative fuels and vehicles.
  • Projects tackling horizontal issues related to the production and use of alternative fuels.
