Abstract

For several years, UE has been trying to increase the use of biofuels to replace petrol or diesel in the transports with the aim of fulfilling a commitment about climate change, supplying enviromentally friendly conditions, promoting renewable energy sources. To achieve this, the 2003/30/EC Directive states that in all the European countries, before 31st December 2010, at least 5.75% of all petrol and diesel fuels used for transport are biofuels. In previous papers, the authors evaluated this possibility. Analyzing hydrogen as replacement of fossil fuels and biofuels nowadays in Spain on a technical, economic and enviromental point of view is the aim of this paper.
