EU biofuels directive consultation – T&E’s response

July 11, 2006

Response to the consultation of the European Commission on the review of the biofuels directive.

The EU should aim to reduce overall fuel consumption by transport rather than promoting specific targets for use of biofuels according to T&E’s response to a recent EU consultation on biofuels. If targets remain, the EU should ensure that ‘good’ biofuels, produced through sustainable production processes and with an overall low carbon intensity, should count for more than others.
