Biofuels and Bioenergy: assessing the impacts and availability

The Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Commission’s in-house science service, provides scientific evidence to policy makers on the complex issues of bioenergy and biofuels availability, exploitability and sustainability. The National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPS) presented by the European Union Member States have shown how bioenergy will remain crucial over the next decade in order to reach the renewable energy targets in 2020.
JRC scientific activities on bioenergy and biofuels aim at providing a working platform to address the most relevant and delicate policy questions, and span from analysis and testing of sustainability criteria.
