EU Looks To Biofuel Sustainability

11.29.07

The European Parliament's Environment Committee has voted to amend the new EU fuel quality directive to include criteria to ensure that biofuel used to meet greenhouse gas targets must meet production sustainability and biodiversity criteria.

The panel also amended a directive that would require oil companies to cut oil life cycle emissions by 10% from 2010-2020, to allow emission reductions of 2% every two years from 2012.
