120 Pigs Per Car: Oil Lobby’s EU Biofuels Loophole Could See Unsustainable Demand for Animal Fats and Used Cooking Oil
- •An emerging "biofuels loophole" in the EU's 2035 cars law could lead to a 2-9 fold increase in unsustainable demand for advanced biofuels by 2050.
- •This policy shift is projected to create intense competition and price volatility for waste feedstocks such as animal fats, used cooking oil, and palm oil, impacting industries reliant on these materials.
- •Developers and large power consumers should monitor these policy developments as they could influence feedstock availability and pricing for biofuel-based energy projects or industrial processes.
