The European Union adopts ambitious biofuels strategy by Dr. Ludwig De Braeckeleer

Earlier this month, the European Commission 1 has adopted a mix of legislative and research measures, known as the "EU Strategy for Biofuels", in order to boost significantly the production of fuels from agricultural raw materials. This decision builds upon other action plans adopted in the sector of clean energy and seems to indicate the genuine willingness of the European Commission's energy policy makers to actively promote the development of renewable energy, particularly energy from wind, water, solar power and biomass.

The European Commission is now focusing on transport. In the EU, transport is responsible for almost one quarter of greenhouse gas emissions.
