Agrofuel target

The scientific advisory body of the EEA is composed of 20 independent scientists from 15 EEA member countries. In their communication, the scientific committee especially states that:

"Biofuel production based on first generation technologies does not optimally use biomass resources with regard to fossil energy saving and to greenhouse gas reduction. Technologies for direct heat and electricity generation should be preferred because they are more economically competitive and more environmentally effective than biofuel production for vehicles"
