The Biofuels Research Advisory Council (BIOFRAC)

---

BIOFRAC was established as the first Steps towards a European Biofuels Technology Platform and has produced the required draft vision report.

This was subsequently published as a full colour Brochure (1424 Kb PDF)

---

The establishment of a such a Technology Platform is high on the European agenda for the development, promotion and implementation of biofuels. It is intended to provide and implement a common European vision and strategy for the production of biofuels, in particular for transport applications, which is compatible with present-day infrastructures.

The Biofuels Research Advisory Council (BIOFRAC) consists of members who represent a balance of the major European biofuels stakeholders, including the agricultural and forestry sectors, food industry, biofuels industry, oil companies and fuel distributors, car manufacturers and research institutes.

The initial mission of BIOFRAC was to develop a vision report which would address all the issues that are relevant to ensure a breakthrough of biofuels and increase their deployment in the EU, with an emphasis on research, development and demonstration. This vision report, that is intended to become a reference document for all stakeholders including policy-makers and would also be supportive in the development and implementation of the 7th Framework Programme for research (FP7).
