European Biofuel Policies to Promote Biofuel Usage in the European Economy

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. Whereas the market share directives for 2010 still remain in place, the new directive targets for 20% of the share of renewable energies in overall Europe energy consumption by 2020. The budgetary support linked to the volume of biofuel produced or consumed, support for intermediate inputs, support for value-adding factors, support related to distribution and consumption and support for research and development are some of the other key important areas of interest for the EU. The EU has been actively involved in formulating policies which will encourage and promote the use of biofuel in Europe. It also intervenes and controls the market price to maintain a balance by artificially increasing consumer and producer price whenever required. In EU, blending rates and border protection tariffs are very important for maintaining the dynamics of the biofuel market. The blending rate demonstrates mandatory requirements for the share of biofuel in transport fuels sold. The border protection tariff intends to protect European production of biofuel through tariffs on biofuel imports.
