The state actively funding research and development in this area. European governments stimulate biofuels production using a variety of fiscal measures, primarily budgetary. For example, the tax exemptions of this type are provided in Germany, France, Belgium and Netherlands. Tax support of the «new energy» in the European Union consists of tax incentives for the purchase and installation of the necessary equipment; the exemption of biofuels from taxes and excise duties, as well as the subsidization of prices and tariffs for «green energy». In Sweden, homeowners receive state grants for refusing to of heating with oil products; currently, these subsidies get 250,000 of 3.8 million households [20]. Since 2010, the European Union recommended level of taxation of motor fuels per 1000 liters is: 412 EUR for gasoline; 330 EUR for diesel and kerosene; 125 euros for a gas. While for the bioethanol, biodiesel and biogas these taxes do not apply. In some countries, the use of biofuels gives the right to government subsidies (Belgium, France, Sweden, and Italy), discounts on VAT (Austria, Netherlands) and discounts on the other taxes (Austria, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, and Italy).
