WP 5 Deliverables
D 5.2 Assessment of the main drivers for
biofuel introduction in the Lisbon metropolitan
area Portugal

• In Portugal, the fulfilment of the goals set by
  the European Renewable Fuels Directive 2003/30/CE
  is considered to be the major and determinant
  driver for the introduction of biofuels.
• The national strategy sets out 3 options for
  attainment the targets imposed reduce the tax
  burden on biofuels compared to the tax on the
  fuels they replace fix compulsory percentage for
  biofuel content in transport fuels establish
  voluntary agreements with fuel producers and
  distributors, as well as inform consumers and
  raise institutional awareness to the use of
  biofuels.
• Having this in mind, 3 distinct scenarios have to
  be considered in order to have biofuels
  consumption in Portugal
• 1.Direct importation of biodiesel and/or
  ethanol
• 2.National biofuels production from imported
  feedstock
• 3.National biofuels production from national
  feedstock.

WP 5 Deliverables
D 5.2 Assessment of the main drivers for
biofuel introduction in the Lisbon metropolitan
area Portugal

• Constraints to the introduction of biofuels in
  Portugal
• ? Scarcity of available land allied with the
  poor productivity of energetic cultures
• ? Portugal is not using non-cultivated lands
  for energetic purposes, with the lack of national
  feedstock as a consequence and the high cost of
  national feedstock and industrial processing.
• Drivers to the introduction of biofuels in
  Portugal
• ? Need of security of fuel supply, and the
  reduction of the foreign energetic dependency
• ? Fulfilment of the Kyoto Protocol
• ? Establishment of new business
  opportunities
• ? Promotion of rural development.
