Project start: 2010
Updated on

In order to anticipate the depletion of fossil resources (oil, gas, coal) and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, current governments are encouraging the development of biofuels, produced from non-fossil organic materials. The European Directive 2009/28/EC thus promotes the use of biofuels and other renewable energies in transport.

Objectives

Develop reference materials and methods to ensure conformance of measures for first generation liquid biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel)
