Scientists attack EU biofuel plans

The EEA Scientific Committee made public an opinion, April 2008, on the environmental impacts of biofuel use in Europe. The Scientific Committee recommends a new, comprehensive scientific study on the environmental risks and benefits of biofuels, and that the EU target to increase the share of biofuels used in transport to 10 % by 2020 should therefore be suspended.

European Environment Agency: Press Release, 10.4.08: Suspend 10 percent biofuels target, says EEA's scientific advisory body http://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/suspend-10-percent-biofuels-target-says-eeas-scientific-advisory-body
