Greens seek abolition of excise duties on biofuels
The Green Party has called on the Government to abolish excise duties on biofuel products in order to help develop the sector.
The party said such a move would be a significant step in boosting the use of the renewable energy and reducing Ireland's reliance on petrol and diesel.
Party spokesman John Gormley said: "It has been done in other countries, but Minister [Noel] Dempsey is refusing to do it here."
Mr Gormley said the Government could also help promote biofuels by using them in all ministerial cars.
