Review of Climate Change Mitigation in Europe's Transport Sector

This review examines greenhouse gas emissions from transport in the European Union, including the rise in energy consumption in road transport and the development of alternative modes of transportation. It also assesses the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and the potential costs and benefits of hybrid concepts. The implementation of the EU Biofuels Directive and its impact on biofuels market share is discussed, as well as the need for sustainability standards in biofuel cultivation.

  20. Implementation of the EU Biofuels Directive As in electricity generation, a framework is set by Community legislation: the biofuels directive[1], which sets as reference values a 2% market share for bio fuels in 2005 and 5.75% share in 2010. The 2005 reference value was not be achieved. There is substantial variation in Member States’ efforts; if all Member States achieve the targets they have set, biofuels will attain a share of only 1.4%.

L123, 17/05/2003 Source: COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION 2005 Biomass action plan

  21. Implementation of the EU Biofuels Directive In accordance with the biofuels directive, the Commission will bring forward a report in 2006 on the directive’s implementation, with a view to a possible revision. It will address the issues of: ·     national targets for the market share of biofuels; ·     using biofuels obligations; requiring that, through a system of certificates, only biofuels whose cultivation complies with minimum sustainability standards will count towards the targets.
