Assessment of Measures to Support Biofuel Introduction in European Countries

European countries have applied or are in the stage of applying various measures to support the introduction of biofuels in the transport sector. Some countries like Germany, France or Sweden have played a pioneer role and established a significant and stabile market for biofuels in their transport fuels. In the context of the revision of the European Biofuels Directive, the PREMIA project has made an impact assessment of measures and market conditions related to biofuels introduction in various European member states as experiences gained are very valuable for the future deployment of biofuels all over Europe. The assessment analysed production and consumption of biofuels, price evolutions (both for fossil and biofuels), feedstock production, the active policy measures and market conditions (e.g. position of car manufacturers, number of dedicated biofuel fuel stations).
