New study critiques potential biofuels expansion in EU on biodiversity grounds
In Europe, a new study presents a new method for assessing the biodiversity impact of direct land use change from increased biofuel cultivation. The study examined the potential impact from doubling the EU biofuel target, currently set at 5.75 percent by 2020, and also looked at the impact from abolishing the targets.
The study found that [...]

The Top 10 Biofuels Stories of 2008: #5, EU mandate and subsidies collapse
Partly as a result of negative publicity regarding biofuels, the European Union watered down its 2020 biofuels conversion goals, while Germany began to remove tax credits that aided its domestic biodiesel industry. The biofuel tax increases, aimed at ultimately creating tax parity between biofuels and conventional fuels, rendered the domestic German biodiesel industry unable to [...]
