In the UK, a committee appointed by the Energy and Climate Ministry has recommended cutting back the government’s 10 percent renewables target (for 2020) to 8 percent, citing that the sustainability impacts are too high. Currently, the national target is a 2.5 percent biofuels component in transportation fuels.
The committee also recommnded slashing the target for biomass-based heat from 12 percent to 11 percent. The committee concluded that shortfalls in overall renewables targets could and should be made up for through increased energy efficiency efforts.
