Spain has a model of production of biofuels based on the importation of most of the raw material with which they are produced and, therefore, it is a situation very similar to what happens with petroleum products.
This is one of the conclusions of the article on the subject published by the professors of the Department of Geography of the University of Murcia Cayetano Espejo Marín and Ramón García Marín in the magazine "ScrIpta Nova", one of the best publications in this discipline of the Which are published in our country and included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR).
The researchers note that the biofuels sector is being implemented in Spain and is being developed as a consequence of the European Union's energy policy, which considers that the use of this material or other renewable fuels as a substitute for diesel or Gasoline reduces greenhouse gas emissions and achieves three key objectives: meeting the commitments made on climate change, security of supply and promotion of renewable energy sources.
UMU professors also comment that Spanish society has little information on the characteristics of biofuels and the advantages of its consumption and, in addition, the presence of suppliers is very scarce, despite the wide network of service stations that There are in our country.
The experience of a few years, according to the study, has shown that the oversizing of this sector has meant a multi-million dollar loss for the promoters and for the administrations, for the money granted in subsidies with little use.
"Governors," say the authors of the research, "must learn once and for all that aid and subsidies for industries and other activities have to be done in terms of the viability of projects and thinking in the medium or long term, because resources They have to be rationalized. "
