Recommendations
Use bio fuels in segments, where they perform best in terms of
energy efficiency and costs compared to conventional fuels
Choose a limited number of options on European Level, due to
infrastructure / legislation / vehicle costs / technology development /
market acceptance
Long term policies of governments essential
