Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2002 00:43:25 Hi to all members, I haven't been speaking for some time, but observing the discussion in the group and recent developments in my own country - Poland I came to a question: how biofuels for cars find their way to market in different countries ??? I would like to ask members to contribute experience in their countries: # Are there any legal regulations in force that mandate using bioethanol, methanol or biodiesel in your countries - can you name there bills, acts or ordinances of government ministers ? # Do you have in your countries a tax incentives system (e.g tax credit) for producing biodiesel and bioethanol/biomethanol - simple description will suffice - could you also name the legal acts behind that ? Or to put it another way: is your tax system supporting development of renewable/biofuels for cars ? # Do you have investment subsidies to projects that produce biodiesel or bioethanol/biomethanol ? # Are these systems of incentives (legal, financial etc.) structured around agriculture support systems or unemployment fighting strategy or within the strategy of environmental protection/sustainable development or the like ? # Are there any lobbying bodies or groups that would like to see faster deployment of renewable fuels for cars ? Could you name them ? # Will larger development of biofuels contribute to higher employment in your countries ? (rough figures would be OK) # Could you please name two to three the most important factors that would contribute to faster and larger development of biofuels ? I want to combine these findings and publish them in one of the Polish thematic journals and of course to share them with the group. For example in Poland there is a great discussion on excise tax that is currently in use for oil biodiesel and also on biodiesel (however some would argue that there is no excise tax on biodiesel). There is a great uncertainty with respect to this since the tax exemption is published by the Ministry of Finance for one year period renewed every year. So, potential investor will tremble each year - will they keep the exemption or will they withdraw it ? jan surowka - Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Biofuels at Journey to Forever http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel at WebConX http://www.webconx.com/2000/biofuel/biofuel.htm To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
