In Australia, Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC) and the Australian Oilseeds Federation are seeking to prove that canola producers who currently export up to 90% of their production to the EU, 70% of which goes towards biodiesel, will achieve the Renewable Energy Directive’s 50% GHG reduction minimum by the Jan. 1, 2017 deadline. The following year, GHG emission reductions must be at least 60% the following year, so a study has been commissioned to demonstrate compliance. Two units of the European Commission are currently studying the report.
