Because of the chaos during the introduction of new fuel-grade E10 biofuel strategy of the government is about to fail.
If the E10's sales could increase significantly, the rate of 6.25 percent biofuel in the fuel this year can not be reached, representatives of the petroleum industry said on Friday. The industry would have to pay penalties but will, but by moving this to the price at the pump for conventional super. This would be about two cents per liter. The Ministry of Environment announced, therefore, should the planned summit on Tuesday gasoline also talked about additional sanctions be. "The quota has been introduced to reduce our dependence on oil," said a ministry spokeswoman. You just see these days how important it was.
Union and FDP therefore warned against a stop of the introduction of E10. The oil industry has done nothing to inform consumers better, complained representatives of both factions. "The consequences of this appalling information policy now also want to pass on to consumers, is a lousy game," criticized FDP consumer expert Erik Schweickert. The Greens and environmental groups called the biofuel strategy the Government has already failed. She had hoped to rid the biofuel blending requirements of the auto industry for greenhouse gas reduction, criticized Green Party leader Renate Kuenast. The environmental organization BUND called the strategy also questionable, as affected by the cultivation of sugar cane or corn as a fuel, the environment or indirectly in the food production could be displaced.
