Policy report released

The BEST Policy Report is the conclusion of BEST – BioEthanol for Sustainable Transport – a four-year project to demonstrate the use of bioethanol in cars and buses at ten sites in Europe, Brazil and China.

 

Best Policy Report Front PageThe results are clear:

bioethanol can substitute a significant part of
the fossil fuels currently used for transport in Europe.

the technology is available and works, the fuel can be produced in a sustainable way, whether it is imported or produced in Europe.

the project also clearly shows that the market will only develop rapidly if certain market barriers are dealt with on both the European and national levels.

Advice to local governments, national governments and the EU are included for those who would like to speed up the shift from fossil fuels to
renewables.

The results of this report can contribute to the development of more sustainable
transport in Europe. Bioethanol is well suited to become an important part
of the future fuel mix.
