Biofuels - Cutting Co2 Emissions in Transport

Biofuels are certainly part of the solution to cutting Co2 emissions in transport, the more difficult prediction is which ones will be used and how large a part will they play.  Transport is a highly competitive, low margin, short term, cost focussed market and whilst we can undersand the environmental arguments, operators will also be looking to win transport contract by being competitive on price.  Many laternative fuels are currently more expensive to produce than diesell but this imbalance is and will be further addressed by carbon taxes, new techology and development grants for alternative fuels.  There is also a responsibility on the large transport users such as FMCG manufacturers and retailers to include environmental targets when setting up new transport contracts.
