Jonathan Murray, policy and operations director of the Low Carbon Vehicles Partnership, who participated in the Government-backed Transport Energy Task Force to look at options last year, told MPs it had concluded that deploying E10 and also using more waste-derived biodiesel would give the UK "a fighting chance of getting to the target". Introducing E10 petrol, the controversial fuel blended with 10% bioethanol, and using more waste-derived biodiesel are the only viable ways of meeting the EU's targets that require Britain to get 10% of its transport energy from renewable sources by 2020, the energy select committee has heard. The committee's chairman, John Whittingdale, said he was "disappointed" at the government's failure to commit itself to a 50% cut in greenhouse gas emissions over this parliament.
