E.U. looks to remove palm oil from biofuels.

E.U. biofuels groups praised a vote by the European Parliament on Jan. 17 to phase out the use of palm oil in biofuels and allow some crop-based fuels. Still, more needs to be done, said ePURE leaders, the European renewable ethanol association. Europeans deserve a climate policy that lives up to the promises made by politicians. The Parliament has sent a message that not all biofuels are created equal by focusing on getting rid of those that drive deforestation like palm oil. But its amendments still risk making it harder for E.U. member states to realistically boost renewables in transport.
