Four Swedish NGOs write MEPs demanding a shift in biofuels policy

In Sweden, a group of four NGOs have written an open letter to members of European Parliament urging them to rethink the proposals for the second version of the Renewable Energy Directive, claiming that Swedish forests are already in dire straights and that the RED proposals will only further diminish their quality. They want no targets for biofuel blending, a complete phase out of crop-based biofuels by 2030, including ILUC in GHG calculations and a list of more policy suggestions.
