The fuel, called Bio95, is now on offer at 100 filling stations across the country on a 95% gas, 5% biofuel blend.<\/p>\n<p>Bio95 is made from wheat straw collected after harvest in Denmark and is produced by a company called DONG Inbicon with enzyme technology by Novozymes.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#300--><\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Long a grand vision of the future, next-generation biofuel is now coming to market to fulfil its promises. The industry has delivered and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re now sending a strong signal to policy-makers that their support for this exciting technology is required if all our citizens are to benefit from it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Steen Riisgaard, CEO of Novozymes.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study released by Bloomberg said second-generation biofuel could generate up to one million jobs in the European Union over the next decade, mainly in rural areas and replace up to 62% of imported gasoline. The report also claims that second generation biofuels could cut down road transport emissions by 50% until 2020. But a set of policies need to be put in place in order for that to happen, the report added, such as the creation of an ambitious mandate for second-generation bio fuel, incentives for the collection of farming residues and tax breaks for investments.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novozymes.com\">Novozymes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/lufthansa-enters-algae-biofuel-production-deal\/\" title=\"Lufthansa Enters Algae Biofuel Production Deal\">Lufthansa Enters Algae Biofuel Production Deal<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/denmark-wants-to-become-alternative-energy-powerhouse\/\" title=\"Denmark Wants to Become Alternative Energy Powerhouse\">Denmark Wants to Become Alternative Energy Powerhouse<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/biofuel-industry-converges-in-rotterdam-holland\/\" title=\"Biofuel Industry Converges in Rotterdam, Holland\">Biofuel Industry Converges in Rotterdam, Holland<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/algae-oil-company-one-to-watch\/\" title=\"Algae Oil Company &#8216;One To Watch&#8217;\">Algae Oil Company &#8216;One To Watch&#8217;<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.energyrefuge.com\/blog\/europe-reassesses-biodiesel-policies\/\" title=\"Europe Reassesses Biodiesel Policies\">Europe Reassesses Biodiesel Policies<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European country is the first in the world to make second generation biofuel (also called next-generation biofuel) available to the public from commercial outlets.
