Miljøgrupper sier at regjeringens beslutning om å droppe mandat for biodrivstoff er «enorm lettelse»

Miljøgrupper, lobbyister for bilvirksomhet og fossilt brensel og opposisjonspartier har alle ønsket regjeringens beslutning om å droppe mandatet for biodrivstoff velkommen.

But the Green Party is warning that the mandate was expected to deliver 50% of the transport-related emissions reduction target - about nine million tonnes of CO2-e by 2035. It is unclear where those savings are now going to come from.
