The extended use of bio-fuels is an important part of the sustainable development strategy declared by the EU for the several forthcoming decades. For transport applications alone, the target of 2% share of bio-fuels and other renewables is set for 2005 which shall rise by 0.75% per year up to 5.75% in the year 2010 [1].
