How should we assess the environment ministers decision on bioethanol of April 2008?
BIOPETROL welcomes the move by environment minister Gabriel to cancel the planned doubling of the blend of bioethanol (E10). It is in the interest of motorists, because many cars are unable run on higher blends of bioethanol. His decision is also in the interest of the objectives of climate protection, since the required capacity of more than three million tonnes of ethanol annually is not available in Europe, and there is currently no guarantee that imported ethanol comes from sustainable production.
