The special report of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change on renewable energy, in fact, indicates the
use of biofuels from energy crops among the mitigation
measurements, and the European Community and national
governments translated this concept into practice by creating
specific financial subsidies and normative for supporting the
production of bioenergy, now considered to all intents as an
agricultural production. In particular, the Directive 2009/28/CE
on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources
indicates for 2020 the 10% target for renewable energy in
transport that should be fulfilled through the use of sustainable
biofuels.
