Danish Government's long term goal is to completely use of electric vehicles, and short-term solution is 10% of transport energy come from biofuels in 2020. Large-scale use and promotion of biofuels this approach raises a number of academics and non-governmental organizations questioned.
Danish Institute of International Studies PhD stew • • WenDiMu method, plug in the 7 th institute web site to comment on the article "biofuels whether can realize his promise?" Questioned this practice.

Depletion of fossil fuels for the current situation, development and utilization of new renewable resources such as biomass it is a priority, but we must do the detailed planning to ensure that the development of new energy at the same time, Wwll not hurt the interests of other. Development of biomass energy has always been the original intention of the sustained and healthy development for the world, and if such damage to the food, or the interests of the people will lead to other disadvantages, so our efforts in vain, and even lead to the greater disaster.
