Question 5.1 Should the EU continue acting in favour of biofuels after 2010? Certainly, as long as second-generation biofuels fulfil their promise.

We should tell the EU to fund serious large-scale scientific proof-of-concept experiments with promising sustainable second-generation biofuels in the period 2010-2020. Nothing is 'mere'. — Richard P. Feynman
If oil supply does plateau at 2006 levels while global demand keeps pushing oil prices up, it will become economical to use biofuels and then EU economic support will be unnecessary. However, the Transport and Energy Directorate should encourage the funding of second-generation biofuel research under the Energy and Agriculture objectives of the EU's scientific research Seventh Framework Programme for 2007-13.
