How our rigid tax system is slowing down CO2 reduction
Biofuel is supposed to save CO2 in road traffic. Ten and seven percent biogenic fuel is already added to petrol and diesel. A greater increase would not be impossible due to the technology; many vehicles are designed for a higher biofuel content. The main snag is the mineral oil tax and CO2 price - there are no incentives.
"If we increase the proportion of biofuels in diesel from seven to ten percent, these three percentage points more will save one million tons of CO2 per year," calculates industrialist Ewald-Marco Münzer. His Styrian company is a leader in the production of waste-based fuel, which is blended with petrol and diesel. In the case of diesel, ten percent of the fuel that flows into the tank under the designation E10 is already biogenic, while the figure for petrol is seven percent. Münzer is calling for an increase.
