tax increase biodiesel and vegetable oil fuel

tax increases on biodiesel and vegetable oil fuel suspend - no conflicts between bioenergy and food production

Berlin, 03.07.2007 - A shift of 1 January 2008 pending tax increase for biodiesel used as pure fuel, called for the Secretary General of the German Farmers Association (DBV), Dr. Helmut Born, on the circle of the District Farmers 'Association Farmers' Pinneberg. The environmental protection objectives of the EU and the G8 group would accelerate the production of bio-fuels and bio-energy on, but there already for about half of the biodiesel production capacity of 5 million tonnes of major marketing problems when it is sold as a pure fuel. was developing the other hand, the blending of biofuels good, said Born.

stood by gradually increasing the taxation of biofuels, biodiesel and vegetable oil and higher prices of raw materials, biodiesel and vegetable oil as a pure fuel before an uncertain future. Will the federal government on the proposed tax levels and dates, the commercialization of biodiesel and vegetable oil as pure fuels would at the beginning of the next few years are facing significant marketing problems. Since full competitiveness of biofuels had not been achieved, we need the support mechanisms of the tax. This also applies to biogas and feed the result of the Renewable Energy Sources Act. The Renewable Energy Act stand in the autumn for review. Born called for a "stabilization" of this Act.

no means overlook the agriculture of the conflicts that might arise if, for example, biogas production and refining animal physically coexisted. If all parties dealt with each other sensibly, agriculture could increase now about 2 million acres on which bio-energy and renewable resources would be generated gradually to 3 million hectares. Even then the German farmers would be able to generate sustained still food in sufficient quantity and quality. For we must in so fundamental and long-term Views and perspectives are not conducted by the present crop varieties and yields. Plant breeding, which had been cultured for example in cereals only on high-protein-containing wheat, whether the process of breeding other varieties, which would significantly improve mass and thus provide more energy and the efficiency of biogas and biofuel production.
