The European Union should scrap its volume target for biofuels and replace it with low carbon targets for all transport fuels according to environmental NGOs BirdLife International, the EEB and T&E in a response to the European Commission public consultation.
BirdLife International, EEB, and T&E welcome this consultation and its focus on the sustainability of biofuels. We appreciate the political priority the Commission is giving to this issue, and believe that it is essential that a practical, effective means for ensuring biofuels are produced sustainably and deliver significant and proven GHG emissions is developed.
