E10 fuel has 10% biofuels incorporated in the fuel, the goal European Union had for 2020 (currently only 5% biofuel is mandatory).
This fuel was introduced in Germany some weeks ago and it originated a lot of protest because not all engines can burn this fuel.
There are also issues on sustainability related to biofuels. It has not been demonstrated yet that they are not as or more harmful to the environment, specially biofuels that come from palm oil corn and other crops. In a time where food prices are raising due to natural catastrophes and bad crops, we must ask ourselves if this is the right path to reduce energy dependance in fossil fuels.
