BioEthanol for sustainable transport

Objective

The BEST proposal will demonstrate an extensive substitution of petrol and diesel to bioethanol. Furthermore the project will initiate a lasting and accelerating development of bioethanol-fuel all over Europe through efficient ways of marketing and training and pave the way for a market breakthrough for ethanol- fuelled vehicles. The objective is to reduce dependency on oil and greenhouse gas emissions through a fine-tuned method of market introduction.

This will be done through a massive, but very strategic introduction of vehicles and distribution-lines at 10 strategically chosen sites in a maximum integrated public-private partnership of cities/regions, car manufacturers, fuel producers, fuelling stations and fleet owners combined with exactly targeted marketing campaigns. Almost 9.000 vehicles and more than 150 fuelling stations are expected as a result of the project making this the largest demonstration of alternative fuelled vehicles yet supported by the Commission.
