Abstract
European Commission has adopted a series of documents in order to achieve energy policy targets. One of them is Directive 2009/28/EC which promotes the use of renewable energy in transportation. The Directive sets targets for Member States. According to the provisions of Article 11 of the Law on Biofuels for Transport, each county of the Republic of Croatia is obliged to develop a program to encourage the production and use of biofuels in transport and establish the policy of increased production and use of biofuels in transport in the county in accordance with the National Action Plan. The program is a three-year planning document that is being proposed by the county executive authority and adopted by the representative body of the county. The paper is result of study of the implementation of biofuels in Republic of Croatia.
Highlights
Reduction of energy consumption through actions to increase energy efficiency, and increase the consumption of renewable energy sources (RES) are the fundamental guidelines of the National Programme of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the fulfillment of the objectives of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the implementation of the agreement [1]
Biofuels as a renewable source of energy are of particular interest because they can replace fossil fuels for transport, which in total energy consumption accounted for more than 30% and represent a significant potential to reduce the sources of greenhouse gas emissions
The National Action Plan to encourage the production and use of biofuels in transport for the period 2011 – 2020 is a basic operational framework to encourage the production and use of biofuels in transport, and is made pursuant to the Act on Biofuels for Transport in accordance with the Energy Strategy Development, the Strategy for Sustainable Development, Strategy for Agriculture and Fisheries of the Republic of Croatia and the National Forest Strategy as well as Directive 2009/28/EC which establishes a policy of increased production and use of biofuels in transport in Croatia [1,2,7,8,9,10]
Summary
Reduction of energy consumption through actions to increase energy efficiency, and increase the consumption of renewable energy sources (RES) are the fundamental guidelines of the National Programme of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the fulfillment of the objectives of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the implementation of the agreement [1]. These measures, at the same time play a significant role in increasing the security of energy supply, and stimulate local economic development. For an average of 120 g CO2/km for newly
