Biofuels
In the energy market, the Renewable Energy Directive of 2009 (RED – 2009/28/CE) requires at least 20% of the energy produced and consumed within the European Union to be originated from renewable sources.
Renewable raw materials, used in the production of biofuels and bioliquids, play in this sense a major role to achieve these mandatory objectives of reduction of greenhouse gas emission in the member States.
Bertuccelli Mediazioni cooperates with major biofuels producers, petrol companies, oleochemical companies, energy traders and sustainable feedstock suppliers in Europe and all over the World.
