In the European Parliament is working on reducing the mandatory share of agricultural origin bio fuel market (up to 6 per cent. ). The authors of this proposal argue the fact that the growing demand for biofuels is causing problems in the use of land. To save more land, forests are cut and drained wetlands, and indirectly the effect of increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the Directive is to promote the use of biofuels, eg.
