US$ 8 Million. The minister of natural resources in Ireland also announced that all petrol and diesel would have to include 5.75 percent of biofuel.

The plan announced by the Energy Minister, is intended to attain carbon savings of more than 700,000 ton each year by 2009. This is equal to taking approximately 200,000 vehicles off the road annually.
There is a budding but rapidly increasing biofuel sector throughout Ireland. The entire sector will welcome this announcement, as it successfully heralds, the commencement of an alternative market in transport fuel market of Ireland.
The purpose with these Govt. targets is to raise substantially the role of bio-energy in transportation, heat and electricity generation and to generate new opportunities for the agriculture and the rural Ireland.
