The Parliament Magazine: Bioethanol supports food security and climate goals
ePURE's David Carpintero writes in The Parliament magazine: "Science has again reaffirmed: ‘Food vs fuel’ is a fallacy, a misguided argument that has disconnected EU energy and climate policy from real-world conditions and helped maintain the dominance of oil.
"A new expert study conducted by the Nova Institute confirms that diversification of crop uses is essential to a competitive and resilient agricultural sector, boosting food security, contributing to climate change mitigation and supporting biodiversity while producing bioenergy and bio-based materials.
"The new report shows that ‘food, fuel and more’ should be the new motto guiding sound policymaking. With major legislative revisions looming, the time is now for decision-makers to understand how the diverse uses of biomass make farmers less vulnerable and more competitive as the EU market is more open to imports."
