Abstract:
This report studies the large scale application of biofuels in roadvehicles in the Netherlands. As a result of the large emission of CO2
from road traffic and the lack of prospects for substantial reduction
as long as energy demand is still increasing and fossil fuels are mainly
used to meet this demand, a substitute for conventional gasoline en
diesel is needed. Biofuels have a considerable potential for reduction
of CO2 emission by road vehicles because they are produced
from biomass, a renewable energy source.
In order to achieve a transition towards large-scale use of biofuels,
efforts need to be made by companies, public authorities, societal groups,
user groups and other organisations involved. They may be the driving
or opposing forces to this transformation of the current regime. In
this report the opportunities and barriers to this change are identified
within the long-term perspective of a transition towards sustainable
energy supply and transport. Based on this analysis, policy recommendations
are provided on how to overcome these barriers and how to mobilise the
parties involved towards the large-scale application of biofuels in
the Netherlands.
