FEATURE: INDUSTRIAL USES FOR GRAIN EXPANDING

cess actually provides a more protein-rich feed than was
available originally."
,Q RUGHU WR SUHYHQW WKH ZLGHVSUHDG XVH RI ¿UVWJHQHUDtion fuels, the commission is now requesting E.U. member
states apply a crop cap to their biofuel supply, which will
limit the amount of fuel derived directly from crops. The
commission suggested a 7% crop cap, e.g. 70% of the initial target, but the U.K. government is seriously looking at
much lower values. The recent U.K. RTFO consultation
provided crop cap numbers of 0%, 2% and 7% with the
government preferring the 2% option, which would be disastrous for the industry and U.K. farming in general.
"This is a perfect example of the government tying
themselves in knots," Tomkinson said. "The U.K. has its
own carbon budgets to achieve - quite separate to those
provided by the E.U. - and its own analysis has shown
that without at least 10% ethanol blended in gasoline, the
country will not achieve these targets. All it requires is for
the government to say we now require blending at 10%
and all the blenders would comply. This can be achieved
with strong government leadership; only time will tell if
we get the leadership we need."
SEEKING DECARBONIZATION SOLUTIONS
Aside from ethanol, the current U.K. transport problem
is how to decarbonize aviation, HGV's and remove much
of the pollutants found in inner cities, which it has had little
success in so far, he said.
"The most logical would be to use fuels like biomethane

in trucks as a diesel replacement and hydrogen, which can
also be used to displace fossil methane and perhaps most
importantly biofuels that directly displace mid-distillates,
the fuels we use in diesel trucks and aviation," he said.
"These types of bio-mid-distillate fuel contain no aromatics, which are the main cause of inner city particulates.
"However, we do not have the infrastructure in place
now to deliver many of the new gas-based fuels, although
we should not use this as a reason not to move it forward.
We need to roll out a number of potential solutions and let
the market decide which one it will pick up. Yes, many
of these will need government stimulus as they won't be
able to compete directly with petro fuels until they attain a
certain size."
In order to understand the issues, Tomkinson said the
inner city problem must be broken down into two discreet areas - trucks and vans on one hand and cars on
the other.
"The current government strategy is to replace as many

it's not too bad an idea but it needs a huge increase in renewable electricity before it can be rolled out successfully
