The Global Renewable Fuels Alliance is calling on delegates to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to seize the historic opportunity to recognize the environmental importance of biofuels and begin to develop strategies to ensure that biofuels play an even greater role in meeting global climate change objectives. With the release of an Industry Position Paper, the alliance is calling for greenhouse gas reduction strategies in the transportation sector that take advantage of the verifiable emission reductions available from biofuels.
The Global Renewable Fuels Alliance is calling on all governments to adopt biofuels friendly policies in the transport sector, and wherever appropriate, binding targets in order to encourage the move away from the world's dangerous addiction to oil. The alliance also wants consideration given to the increasing efficiency of global biofuels production in developing policies; increased investments; ensure transparency; base indirect land use on scientific evidence and accelerated commercialization.
The International Energy Agency predicts that if no current change in government policy is assumed; rising consumption of fossil fuels will double the concentration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the atmosphere by the end of this century, leading to an eventual global temperature increase of up to 6º C. Global energy-related CO2 emissions are projected to rise 45%.
