    in a few years the second generation of biofuels will dominate the biofuel market. Biofuel from algae, jatropha, waste or other non-food competing feedstocks will be competetive to mineral based oil. Indeed this palmoil, rapeoil or soyoil doesn't make that much sense and biodiesel producers in Europe are barely competetive with rapeoil at 930 euro/tonne and escalating taxation. On the other side highly subsidized B99 from the USA is imported which means you first compete with food-crops, that waste energy to produce the oil and then waste even more energy to ship this fuel to Europe - what a ridicolous system - isn't it?
