Subject: This report analyses the potential deployment of a European electric market by 2020 in two parts: the environmental impact of the electrification of the transport sector and the energy policies recommended in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Through the elaboration of three scenarios, it demonstrates that the development of the electric vehicle could be a genuine opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions, if its commercial development is accompanied by a policy in favour of renewable energy.

Subject: At a time when the electric car is becoming increasingly popular, this report aims to question its role in the zero-carbon future of the European transport sector. It thus offers a precise survey of progress being made across Europe in the field of electric mobility and takes an interest in the governmental policies that need developing in order to roll out the electric car.

Subject: The transport sector remains a challenge for Europe, which has not succeeded in putting a homogeneous transport policy in place between Member States. This is why today only a voluntarist supranational policy will be able to meet these environmental challenges by offering a European sustainable mobility policy, as an efficient alternative to the establishment of an internal market.

Subject: The context in which alternative energy consumption will intensify to fight climate change led this report to consider the carbon footprint of biofuels in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Are biodiesels and bioethanols - which are today compulsorily incorporated into petrol by the TGAP (general tax on polluting activities) that is fixed by the (French) government - sustainable solutions to reduce CO2 emissions? This work, produced through precise scientific methodology, shows the diversity of biofuels and the complexity required to evaluate them.
