Biofuel market - About time it has come into its own

IRELAND is the third biggest market for cars run on biofuel. It is behind only Sweden and France.

The sales of such cars are expected to increase with the availability of biofuel.

The Department of Energy’s white paper on energy policy has set down definite targets, requiring all fuel retailers to ensure that 2% of their overall fuel sales are biofuels by the end of next year, and this will rise to 5.75% by the end of 2009 and to 10% by 2020.
