Abstract

In EU directive 2003/30/EC biodiesel is defined as “methyl ester produced from vegetable or animal oil, of diesel quality, to be used as biofuel”. The more recent EU directive 2009/28/EC has set the targets of achieving, by 2020, a 20% share of energy from renewable energy sources in the EU’s overall energy consumption and a 10% share of energy from renewable sources in each member State’s transport energy consumption. In this context special consideration is paid to the role played by the development of a sustainable and responsible biofuels production, with no impact on food chain.
