The European Union has limited the use of biofuels

The authorities of the European Union adopted a resolution on how to put a limit on the use of biofuels as a fuel for cars and trucks. The European Union has given his voting preference in the reduction of the use of biofuels based on food crops 5.5% of the total fuel used in the transport sector.

But with all this, the EU has recently been in a project to make the activation of the development of biofuels. Has also been tasked to to the year 2020 to increase by 10 percent the use of biofuels vehicles.

Yet the EU, after much debate, have come to an important conclusion that the production of biofuels from food crops, which in any case could lead to higher prices for food. Also, there are fears that biofuel is not as ecological as everyone thought.

The plans, by 2020, Europe still wants to increase the share of renewable sources to a level of 10%. Also in the plans to do this by increasing the share of electric vehicles and biofuels on the basis of non-food crops (as yet has not become widespread.)

In September this year, will take the final vote in the European Parliament on the modification of the law on the use of biofuels.

Before the new rules will be finally approved as part of the EU, they have to be approved by the European Council, which is composed of the leaders of the EU member states.

It is likely that the new rules could lead to a reduction in overall funding segment of the production and development of biofuels in Europe.
