Directivas da União Europeia podem ameaçar o futuro do biodiesel na Europa

(Notícia em Inglês)
The biodiesel industry is facing major challenges for the future which will, by and large, determine any future use of biodiesel as alternative fuel. These challenges will be the subject of discussion and debate at "The Future of Biodiesel in Europe", a conference to be held in Brussels on September 27-28, 2010, and organized by Hart Energy Consulting and AGQM - Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitatsmanagement Biodiesel e. V. (German Association for Quality Management of Biodiesel reg. ASS).

At the conference, experts of the EU Commission will update the audience on the translation of the EU directives into the national legal systems, with a special emphasis on the renewable energy National Action Plans (NAPs) already submitted to the Commission, and the issue of sustainability, including comments on the ongoing public consultation on indirect land use change (ILUC).

"The implementation of the Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and the Directive on the quality of fuels in the member states of the European Union, as well as non-EU member states, generates new challenges for the biodiesel industry," said Tammy Klein, assistant vice president at Hart. "These policies could set the course for who will gain access to the markets not only within the European Union but also globally," she said.
