Model-based calculations by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) have shown that the production of bio-energy on agricultural land on any kind of serious scale would only be of interest if energy prices rise considerably. Moreover, it would also be contingent upon bio-energy being generally exempted from taxes on mineral oils as well as being protected against the import of cheap bio-energy from abroad. The contribution towards domestic energy sources would, however, still be marginal, representing less than 8% of the consumption of fossil fuels.
