Phase-out for Biodiesel?

The European Commission is currently revising the Renewable Energies Directive (RED). A leaked draft shows that the limit (cap) on the use of biofuels from food or feed crops (such as rapeseed oil) should be gradually reduced from a maximum of 7% to 3,8% between 2020 and 2030. In order to achieve the ambitious targets of 40% reduction of GHG in the transport sector in 2030, the reduction of the cap for sustainably certified biofuels would be fatal.
