Re: EREC EU policy conference (none / 1)

10% renewables in transport? How exactly is that spelled out in the directives?

As we know, biofuels were initially a substantial part of that. But 10% biofuels at the current level of fuel consumption in road transport is not attainable.

Indeed. I wonder if the biofuels part in the 10% RE in transport goal is explicit.

Luis de Sousa - "The 10 per cent agri-fuels target has been seriously undermined"

an agreement that up to almost a third of the EU's 10 percent goal would be met not through biofuels but through electric cars and trains

That's a quote from a report on last-minute negotiations between the EP and the Commission a year ago. So two-thirds of the 10% are still supposed to come from biofuels.
