Not only the electricity and heating sectors, but also the transport sector is important wh<strong>en</strong><br />
it comes to increased substitution of r<strong>en</strong>ewable <strong>en</strong>ergy sources for fossil fuels: one third of<br />
total final <strong>en</strong>ergy consumption in the EU is due to the transport sector. For the first time, the<br />
new EU Directive (2009/28/EC) lays down a binding target for the transport sector. By 2020,<br />
r<strong>en</strong>ewables-based <strong>en</strong>ergy in the individual EU Member States for all means of transport is to<br />
account for at least 10 % of final <strong>en</strong>ergy consumption in the transport sector.<br />
But the relevance of the transport sector to the expansion of r<strong>en</strong>ewables is evid<strong>en</strong>t not only<br />
with regard to reducing dep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>ce on imports. Biofuels also make a substantial contribution<br />
to reducing gr<strong>ee</strong>nhouse gas emissions by road traffic.<br />
