As the biofuels debate rages, leading stakeholders take time out to discuss sustainable bioethanol as a green alternative in the UK.
Lisa Rogers on biofuels
Actress and presenter of Scrapheap Challenge, Lisa Rogers talks about her experience with biofuel cars. On World Environment Day, celebrities and dignitaries took part in the annual Revolve Eco-Rally. They drove eco-friendly cars from Brighton to London, some you can buy now, some are advanced prototypes - they all work, and they all prove that zero emission motoring is closer than some people think. Here she talks about her own experience with biofuels.
Good quality biodiesel tends to cost more than regular diesel to produce. In July 2002, the UK Government reduced the tax on biodiesel by 20p/litre. Biodiesel pump prices are now roughly the same as standard diesel.

20% renewable energy by 2020
Raising the share of renewable energy from 8.5% to 20% in the overall energy consumption is a necessary contribution to the global fight against climate change and towards better control over our energy dependence. The various uses of renewable energy are examined: electricity through wind and hydraulic energies; electricity or heat through geothermal and solar energies; electricity, heat, and biofuel coming from biomass. The EU is a world leader in the use and deployment of technologies that exploit renewable energy sources
