    Biodiesel in The Eu 25 Current State and Future Prospects

    Uploaded by

    Abe Kob
    Raffaello Garofalo, Secretary General of the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), discusses the current state and future prospects of biodiesel in the European Union. He notes that biodiesel production in the EU reached 3.1 million tonnes in 2005 and that the EU accounts for most global biodiesel production. Garofalo also examines the EU's targets for increased biofuel usage and how this could impact the biodiesel market going forward. Key challenges that will influence the future development of the biodiesel industry are also addressed, including quality standards, availability of feedstocks, and sustainability certification.

    Reduction of1% of CO emissions from fuels every year for 10 years as from 2010 In practice necessary to increase by 1,5%-1,7% biodiesel consumption every year until 2020 on 2010 basis

    Revision of Directive 2003/30 (biofuels)


    Umbrella Directive on renewable energies to be proposed in the summer Main issues: support policies, policy mix, assessment of CO impact

    need rapid

    Policies and standards to be adapted already in the next months

    THE EUROPEAN BIODIESEL INDUSTRY IS STANDING FIRST TO APPLY A SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION TO THE RAW MATERIAL THAT IT EMPLOYS

    Simple clear and universal rules and principles need to be applied Avoid fragmentation Avoid burdensome bureaucracy: contrary to aim of decreasing prices Avoid food related labelling consideration: biofuels are distributed via refineries and marketed at fuel pumps not in supermarket shelves

    European Biodiesel Board Bases of the future market development of biofuels and biodiesel Sustainability and environmental impact of biodiesel
    BIODIESEL = PALM OIL: A WRONG EQUATION AND A MISCALCULATION: less than 3% of palm oil imported in the EU becomes biodiesel Where the remaining 97% ends up? > Margarine, biscuits, prepared food, oleochemistry, burning for electricity etc. etc.
    o In the last 5 years imports of palm oil have been doubled from 2,3 to 4,1 million tonnes (not because of biodiesel)

    EBB favours the establishment of a certification scheme: but necessary to think about criteria applicable not only to 3% of the uses . if the intention is really to preserve rain forests Land use is the real issue

    Too many studies exist, often contradictory Necessary to elaborate a common European reference (for C0 and sustainability)
    JRC-Concawe-Eucar study: starting point need to become more transparent

    What about second generation biofuels?


    Diesel or gasoline substitutes: two very different perspectives

    Biofuels have to be compared with other fuels effectively available on the market How will increasing unconventional oil extraction taken into account?

    Technology progress in FAME production:

    FAEE Recycled fats Biodiesel from other raw materials (Jatropha, Algae, etc.) Glycerine use as biofuel (GTBE)

    A big opportunity: biofuels in developing countries


    A cheaper fuel for remote areas Social dimension of biodiesel

    CONCLUSION Biodiesel is becoming a world-wide reality


    All the issues mentioned before have to be tackled in an international context EU BIODIESEL MARKETS BIODIESEL CHAINS Bucharest, July 28th 2007
