Environment News Service, December, 2005 by staff
BRUSSELS, Belgium (ENS) — --> A detailed action plan designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials has been adopted by the European Commission. The plan outlines measures in three sectors - heating, electricity and transport.
Andris Piebalgs, Commissioner for Energy, announced the new plan on Wednesday, saying, “This plan will reduce Europe’s dependence on imported energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions, protect jobs in rural areas and extend the EU’s technological leadership in these sectors."
"The measures in favor of transport biofuels, in particular, are a practical response to the problem of high oil prices," Piebalgs said.
