eBIO calls for intermediate biofuel targets in Europe

Although the introduction of a minimum binding 10% biofuels target by energy content in 2020 is obviously very good news for the European ethanol industry, industry association eBIO says “the Commission only went half way and failed to define intermediate targets for biofuels – as it did for the other sectors”.

Robert Vierhout, Secretary-General of eBIO, said that “the experience with the current biofuels directive shows that most of the Member States tend to wait a long time with the measures necessary to promote biofuels. Intermediate targets are thus needed to prevent a rude awakening in 2019 and to step-wise attain the 10% target.”

Mr. Vierhout made his comments in eBIO’s monthly market commentary at Ethanol Statistics. This month, eBIO takes a closer look at the pros and cons of the proposed Renewable Energy Directive. Besides the need for intermediate targets, eBIO also raised questions about the lack of investments in second generation biofuels, the imbalance between energy security and co2 emissions, the limited time frame for depreciation of existing plants, the base emission values for marginal oil and the difference between criteria for biofuels and fossil fuels.

Cellulosic ethanol development is partly underfunded
The product development phase in cellulosic ethanol research and development is relatively underfunded compared to other phases.

The analysis identifies roughly three development stages prior to commercial-scale production: (1) Basic discovery and R&D, (2) Product development and (3) Pilot/Demonstration plants. Figure 1 visualizes the funding gap that

The worldwide production of cellulosic ethanol will amount to at least 16.5 billion gallons in 2020, if the targets set in the United States, China, Europe, Japan and Brazil are achieved. Based on currently proposed and signed legislation, the United States would account for over 63.9% of that market, while the EU and China would account for 10.4 and 11.5% respectively. Although Brazil doesn’t have any official legislation on cellulosic
