EU BIODIESEL PRODUCERS URGE OFFICIALS ON RENEWABLE ENERGY PLAN
03.19.10
The EU is not taking full account of the environmental impact of oil-based road transport fuels, which could undermine the bloc's renewable energy goals, European biodiesel producers stated Thursday.
The EU uses GHG emissions from road fuels as a basis for calculating the climate benefits of crop-based biofuels, but biodiesel producers argue the EU's reference values for emissions from diesel and petrol are set too low because they fail to consider the rising use of unconventional fossil fuels like Canadian tar sands, Reuters reports.
