EU Environment Committee Rejects Biofuel Target
07.10.08
The European Parliament's Environment Committee has rejected the EU's 10% biofuel target for Europe's on-road fuels by 2020, instead backing a shift toward renewable electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Committee members voted that the on-road share of renewable energy should be at least 8%-10% in 2020, out of which 40%-50% would be met by electricity or hydrogen from renewable sources, and second-generation biofuels such as cellulosic biomass. They also backed an interim renewable on-road target of at least 4% by 2015.
