ILUC Prevention Strategies for Sustainable Biofuels

The case studies show that large amounts of additional biofuels can be produced with a low risk of causing ILUC. In the high scenario, already 1.3% of the total energy use (or 13% of the renewable energy use) in road transport in the EU in 2020 could be met by low-ILUC-risk biofuels produced in only the three European case studies investigated in this project.
Thus, low-ILUC-risk biofuels produced from these three EU case studies alone could meaningfully contribute to sustainable biofuels in the EU in 2020.
Note that the three case studies cover only 6% of agricultural land in the EU, so the potential for all of Europe is substantial.
