The European Union has set in its Biofuel Directive targets to promote the use of renewable fuels in petrol and diesel. For 2005 the target was set at 2 percent and for 2010 this target is 5.75 percent. This means that ideally by 2010 of all motor fuels for transport 5.75 percent should be from a renewable source such as, for example, bioethanol.
