UK targets for the percentage of fuel for transport to come from biofuels have been revised upwards, in accordance with the European Commission’s climate and energy package. Currently standing at 2%, a figure which has taken ten years to achieve, the UK Government has pledged to meet a commitment to increase this to 15% by 2020. Before the Commission’s announcement on Wednesday, this figure stood at 5%. The figure is the UK’s share of the ‘burden’ to reach 20% of transport fuel as biofuels by 2020 across the whole of the EU.
