Biofuels
Biofuels OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES There are three principal reasons driving the development of biofuels: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs) from the transport sector, the creation or maintenance of agricultural and forestry activities, energy independence. Public policies aimed at supporting biofuels were first introduced in the 1990s in Europe
