生物燃料政策在欧洲已经变得非常有争议。在本文中，我们讨论了在可再生能源指令实施前后，英国可再生运输燃料义务（RTFO）的碳和可持续性系统的治理和合法性方面。RTFO认证是一种元类型，建立在现有的认证和标签计划的基础上，每个计划或多或少都受到非政府组织的质疑。尽管RTFO是建立在这些非国家倡议的基础上，但迄今为止，环境与发展非政府组织和其他组织的关切尚未在监管条款中得到认真表达。事实上，考虑到生物燃料影响的科学基础有限，以及RTFO可持续性认证对非国家行为者和计划的依赖，英国的生物燃料政策制定可以说对批评意见反应迟钝。借鉴文献证据、访谈和三套文献——共同制定法规；超正常科学;以及非国家认证和标签过程的合法性——我们建议，除非有关的声音在英国和欧盟生物燃料政策制定中得到更有力的表达，否则该政策还不能说已经取得了广泛的社会授权。
Biofuel policy has become highly contentious in Europe. In this paper we discuss the governance and legitimacy aspects of the carbon and sustainability system of the UK Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), both before and after implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive. RTFO certification is of a meta-type, being built upon existing certification and labelling schemes, each of which are more or less contested by NGOs. Despite the RTFO being based on these non-state initiatives, so far the concerns of environment and development NGOs and others have not been given serious expression in regulatory terms. Indeed, biofuel policy development in the UK has arguably been unduly non-responsive to critical opinion, given the limited scientific base on biofuel impacts and the reliance of RTFO sustainability certification on non-state actors and schemes. Drawing on documentary evidence, interviews and three sets of literatures – co-production of regulation; post-normal science; and legitimacy of non-state certification and labelling processes – we suggest that until concerned voices are given a stronger expression in UK and EC biofuel policy development, the policy cannot yet be said to have achieved a wide social mandate.
