The framework aims to:
Prioritize the supply and utilization of biofuel by national companies and Energy-Self Sufficient villages through mandatory actions
Regulate the type, standard and quality of biofuel as a fossil fuel substitute
Regulate the biofuel business and trade activities
Set targets for biofuel share until 2025 Mandatory biofuel use has been implemented since 2009 and scheduled up to 2025 in accordance with the 2006 Biofuel Road Map targets.

The regulation also increased the number of Special Biofuel Zones (SBZ) and therefore of biofuel exploitation capabilities.
