Spanish biofuel consumption up over 6% in 2014 as RED compliance nears

In Spain, biofuel consumption in 2014 rose 6.6% on the year to 1.16 million metric tons, but that’s far from the record 2.46 million tons consumed in 2012. Demand increased due to an uptick in road transport as well as traders seeking to hoard sustainability certificates ahead of the country finally implementing the Renewable Energy Directive, the last EU member state to do so.
