Energy (Biofuel Obligation and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages
12:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
This addition is made to clarify the bio-fuel produced from non-food cellulosic material. Cellulosic material or algae can also be considered eligible for certification under the obligation. These bio-fuels are classified as second generation bio-fuels and, as such, do not compete with food crops of land or resources. Given that we have dealt with drafting questions, we can now insert these into the Bill. Reflecting their importance, these fuels will receive double certificates under the scheme and I therefore propose that these amendments be accepted.
