Late publication of biofuels study raises questions

16 Mar 16

The European Commission has finally published the Globiom Study on the indirect land use change [ILUC], which it had kept secret and unavailable during the public consultation period for the Renewable Energy Directive for the period 2020-2030. The 261-page study was commissioned in 2013. A consortium of three respected companies, including Ecofys and IIASA, investigated the ILUC effect, combining experiences in the renewable energy sectors and land use change modeling. The study was commissioned because of doubts over a 2012 U-turn by the EU executive with regard to the promotion of the biofuel industry.
