One little catch only reason for this seemingly success is this: EU exported their carbon footprint to another country that has some of the worse environmental policy on the planet thus by doing so they actually increased there co2+equivalent when factoring in the entire consumption. Increasing Biofuel consumption when looking at the dud to dust is worse than oil by 10-12 times.
I am almost positive that they ignored those factors to make it look as if it was a win when it was really a failing grade in reality. Often times paper and reality and perspectives don't match.
Analogy: Shifting the peas around the plate then putting those peas in a bog which creates methane instead of co2 .
Which is a worse greenhouse gas.
