By Vivienne Morgan, Political Staff, PA News Britain will have to import biofuel to meet EU targets unless urgent action is taken to develop an indigenous industry, the Commons heard today. Tory Michael Jack warned farmers risked missing a “gigantic opportunity” and called on Chancellor Gordon Brown to offer further incentives for using biofuels. Mr Jack, who chairs the environment select committee, said: “Sadly to date the use of indigenous raw material, oilseed rape produced in the UK, turned into biodiesel is effectively almost non-existent. “Those plants which have been put into production use effectively the residues of cooking oils to produce biofuels. “It is good that some biofuels are produced, but given the potential for British agriculture to benefit from a revolution in fuel production we do seem at the moment not to be taking advantage of the possibilities of both producing and developing a facility for biofuels in this country.” [etc.] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
