The European Commission’s review of the competitiveness of clean energy technologies finds that while remaining highly cost competitive, market shares are falling. Moreover, designing a successful R&I pathway is also key for a competitive clean energy industry and defining clear national 2030 and 2050 targets are crucial elements to this.

The reason it’s considered a solution is that plants suck up carbon from the air while they grow. When we turn them into fuels and burn them, no new carbon is added to the atmosphere —the whole cycle is considered “carbon neutral.” But critics say biofuels’ carbon-neutrality is a mirage.
