No EU biofuel policy revision expected before 2014

摘要

EU decision-makers will likely not reach an agreement on the future of EU biofuels policy this year, the Irish Presidency has warned, as the debate continues to rage on the role of food crop-based fuels. Member states remain divided on a European Commission proposal to limit the contribution of 'conventional' biofuels to EU renewable energy targets and increase that of 'advanced' fuels, according to a recent Presidency progress report.
