Comparative analysis of biofuel policies in Europe and the United States and its implications
As part of its overall climate strategy,the EU's biofuels policy focuses on mandatory statutory blending and encourages the use of non-food-based feedstock and waste feedstock.Within the unified policy framework of the EU Renewable Energy Directive,each member state can formulate its own biofuel blending policy based on its unique individual conditions.The United States has passed a series of laws to form the"Renewable Fuel Standard"as a policy framework for the promotion of biofuels,which clarifies the mandatory blending volume of biofuels nationwide and establishes the obligation,incentives to meet the required use of renewable energy,and penalties in case of failure to do so.The EU and the US share a common policy of promoting the use of biofuels through mandatory additions and encouraging the use of higher-grade biofuels that are more effective in reducing emissions and do not threaten food security.China has implemented a bioethanol blending policy,introduced a pilot program to expand the use of biodiesel,but not yet issued a mandate to promote biodiesel on a large scale.The paper indicates that China may integrate biofuel policy into its overall climate strategy,try to promote the use of biofuels with a better endowment of resources through legislation,issue more economic incentives,increase policy support for the biofuel feedstock industry including used cooking oil collection,and allow different regions in the country to introduce individual biofuel blending policies.
