This article examines the potential for bilateral agreements to offer a more strategic approach to securing sustainable biofuels for Europe than the voluntary schemes that are currently being used.
In order for biofuels to count as renewable energy for transport under the European Union Renewable Energy Directive, most applicants have relied on certification by the European Commission. But bilateral agreements can also be used to meet the sustainability criteria.
This article examines the bilateral agreement option, particularly whether such agreements might provide more flexibility in developing countries that export to the EU, while also addressing more general land use policies and cross-sector linkages in natural resource management.
