Biofuel Market in Europe to 2020
The production of biofuel in Europe has grown significantly over the years. This was due to favorable policies adopted by the European Union (EU). In order to promote the biofuel market in Europe, the EU has formulated various directives for all the European countries. The important legislations for the immense use of biofuel are Renewable Energy Directives, (2009/28/EC, 2003/30/EC), the Energy Taxation Directives (2003/96/EC) and the Directive on the Quality of Petrol and Diesel fuels (2009/30/EC). The Renewable Energy Directive, 2003/30/EC called for a 5.75% market share of biofuel among all transport fuels. This was to be achieved by all member states by 2010.
