Use of Sustainably-sourced Residue and Waste Streams for Advanced Biofuel Production in the European Union: Rural Economic Impacts and Potential for Job Creation

Résumé du livre

Expansion in the use of biofuels driven by the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) has led to concerns that this may be contributing to deforestation and land use change. This uncertainty has tempered EU biofuel ambitions, particularly for crop-derived biofuels. This report highlights the significant economic and employment opportunity that exploitation of crop, forest and waste-derived residues could offer in the EU.
