In December 2005 the European Commission adopted a Biomass Action Plan designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials. The European Commission is now focusing on transport, which is responsible for around 21% of the EUs harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

A wide range of actions is already being taken. Vehicle manufacturers are developing more fuel efficient engines. Efforts are being made to improve public transport and rationalise the transportation of goods.

In 2003 the Biofuels Directive on the promotion of the use of biofuels and other renewable fuels for transport, set out indicative targets for Member States. To help meet the 2010 target - a 5.75% market share for biofuels in the overall transport fuel supply - the European Commission has adopted an EU Strategy for Biofuels, along seven policy axes:

- Stimulating demand for biofuels

- Capturing environmental benefits

- Developing the production and distribution of biofuels

- Expanding feedstock supplies

- Enhancing trade opportunities

- Supporting developing countries

- Supporting research and development

Follow-up work in 2006 will include a review of the Biofuels Directive, and its possible revision; a proposal for the revision of the Fuel Quality Directive; and a review of the implementation of the energy crop premium introduced by the 2003 CAP reform.

Solar Is the Cheapest Power in History, But States Are Retreating From It

A high-stakes push-and-pull is taking place in the United States clean energy sector as state-level laws, federal-level policy, and that infamous invisible hand all tug in different directions. A staggering amount of different legal actions on the part of the Trump administration, the judicial system, and state politicians have created an incredibly complex landscape for clean energy adoption across the country. And while the economics of renewables are looking better than ever, the political positioning of the clean energy transition is looking…

Why Lunar Helium-3 Mining Still Can't Compete With Earth

When it comes to Helium-3, the biggest cost divide is between Earth and the Moon. Potential sources range from tritium decay and terrestrial helium wells on Earth to lunar regolith on the Moon. Today, Earth-based sources remain far easier and cheaper to access. This graphic, created by Visual Capitalist's Cody Good in partnership with Pulsar Helium, compares major potential sources of Helium-3 by cost, scalability, and accessibility. It’s part three of four in the Helium 3: From Theory to Opportunity series, delivering key He-3 insights for…

The Real Reason BP Is Retreating From the North Sea

BP is still considering a sale of all or part of its UK upstream portfolio, which could fetch around £2 billion ($2.7 billion), though talks of a sale to Ithaca Energy fell through earlier this month, according to reports by Bloomberg and the Financial Times. We think the information is credible. A sale would fit the group’s strategic direction, and the company is an outlier in the UK, where other majors have either sold down or formed joint ventures. At the same time, BP has been pushing aggressively on the exploration front since…

Israel and Hezbollah Truce Gives Oil Markets a Reason to Pause

The Middle East's latest peace deal just got a peace deal of its own. Israel and Hezbollah agreed Friday to halt fighting in southern Lebanon after days of escalating clashes threatened to derail the fragile US-Iran peace process, reducing the risk that the first major test of the U.S.-Iran agreement would turn into its first major failure. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are supposed to begin under a 60-day framework agreement designed to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and eventually restore millions of barrels per day of…
