    Claims
in
Ac+onAid
publica+on
against
biofuels
largely

    ques+onable

    Brussels,
 26
 February
 2010
 ‐
 “Meals
 per
 Gallons”,
 a 
 publica;on
 against



    biofuels 
recently
produced
by
Ac;onAid,
is
based
largely
on
unfounded
claims,

    disputed
data 
and
 one‐sided
arguments 
says
eBIO,
 the
European
Bioethanol

    Industry
Associa;on.

    

    “In
 par;cular,
 the
report
 paints 
biofuels
as
the
villain
responsible
for
 world

    hunger,
 in
 total 
 ignorance
 of
 undisputed
 facts 
 that
 prove 
 otherwise”
 says

    eBIO’s
Rob
Vierhout.

    FAO
data
shows
that
the
world
produces 
enough
food
to
feed
everyone.
World

    agriculture 
produces
17
percent
more
calories 
per
person
today
than
it
did
30

    years 
ago,
despite
a
70
percent
popula;on
increase.
This
is 
enough
to
provide

    for
 everyone
in
the 
world.
The
principal
problem
is
that
 many
 people 
in
the

    world
do
not
 have
sufficient
 income
to
purchase,
or
 means 
to
grow,
 enough

    food.

    

    From
 mid‐2009,
 soR
 commodity
 prices
 have 
 decreased
 to
 pre‐2008
 levels

    whereas 
global
biofuel
produc;on
has 
increased
by
 10%.
Biofuels 
play
only
 a

    minor
role
in
soR
 commodity
 price
changes,
as 
was
widely
 recognized
by
the

    European
Commission.

    Mr
Christophe
Bourillon “The 
 report
 blatantly
 ignores
 the
 posi;ve
 impacts
 of
 biofuels 
 and
 the

    Director
for
Communica;ons
 contribu;ons
they
can
make
to
climate
change
mi;ga;on”
says 
Vierhout.
“For

    106,
Rue
Joseph
II

    B‐1000
Brussels instance,
 European
 transport
 emissions
 have
 increased
 by
 about
 25%
 since

    p:
+32
2
657
66
79 1990
 and
road
transport
 represents 
85%
 of
 these
emissions.
 “Biofuel 
is 
the

    e:
bourillon@ebio.org

    www.ebio.org
    only
op;on
that
can
be
used
today,
hydrogen
and
electric
vehicles 
won’t
be 
on

    the
road
for
many
 years 
to
come”,
he
added.
The 
fact
that
biofuel
produc;on

    also
results
in
feed/food
produc;on
is
oRen
ignored.
    

    Biofuel 
produc;on
in
developing
countries
can
generate
new
income,
replace

    expensive
 fossil 
fuel
 imports
and
provide
a 
new
 impetus 
to
 the
 agriculture

    economy.
 However,
 European
 sustainability
 criteria 
 should
 ensure 
 that

    biofuels 
sourced
from
developing
countries
would
not
have
been
produced
in

    a
manner
that
would
have
deprived
people
from
their
land.
