Legal Analysis Of The Eu Policy For Sustainable Transport Biofuels, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Warnings about limited oil resources, as well as the necessity to reduce GHG emissions and secure energy supply1 have become prioritized issues on the EU agenda. It has been suggested to partially replace traditional fossil fuels with other sources of renewable energy, for example with biofuels in the transport sector. This has been seen as a promising solution for complications connected with the extraction and supply of oil, as well as for the reduction of GHG emissions. It has also become understandable that the quality of biofuels and their production methods need to be sustainable. The material, from which biofuels …

Using Sustainability Criteria For Biofuels In A Legal Context, Evgenia Pavlovskaia

In order to analyze the empirical material of the doctoral thesis on the EU sustainability criteria for biofuels, a specially constructed model has been applied. This model has been created on the basis of two separate models of two Swedish researchers, Westerlund and Lundquist. The first component in this so-called combined model is the legal operationalization model of Staffan Westerlund, and the other is the implementation steering model of Lennart Lundquist.

Among the environmental challenges, which humanity is facing today, there are the threat of global climate change, unsatisfactory air quality, and the fact that the resources of fossil fuels are finite. Biofuels have long been at the top of international agenda as a possible solution to all the three issues. The present project is a timely contribution to the research of the law of biofuels. The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the use of law as a means to implement the ambitious policy on biofuels. In this, I investigate and evaluate in what respects legal systems promote respectively …
Preliminary Plan For The Doctoral Thesis: The Role And Function Of Law As The Promoter Of The Sustainable Use Of Bio-Fuels In The Transport Sector, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Preliminary Plan For The Doctoral Thesis: The Role And Function Of Law As The Promoter Of The Sustainable Use Of Bio-Fuels In The Transport Sector, Evgenia Pavlovskaia
Evgenia Pavlovskaia
The paper contains the preliminary plan of the doctoral thesis made in 2008. It explains that the purpose of the project is to analyze the use of the law as a means to implement the sustainable policy on bio-fuels. The author will investigate and evaluate in what respect legal systems promote respectively restrain trade, production and use of bio-fuels in the transport sector, and how they balance the bio-fuel objective against other objectives important for the sustainable development (such as food production and biodiversity). The author will also identify efficient and less efficient legal constructions and discuss possibly successful legal …
