According to current legislation, member states must ensure that renewable energy accounts for at least 10% of energy consumption in transport by 2020. In the adopted text, MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) say land-based biofuels should not exceed 6% of the final energy consumption in transport by 2020.

Reducing the environmental impact of freight transportation in the face of increasing trade and economic growth in North America requires much more than continued progress on fuel economy and transport technology. Throughout this period, the transportation sector is expected to maintain its position as a dominant end-user of energy.

federal government has mandated that the country’s government-operated planes, trains, and automobiles run on a fuel blend partly made from corn- and soybean-based biofuels. In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. For the past decade and a half, the U.S. Now, it is 2022.
