* A unique global assessment of the potential opportunities and risks of biofuels
* A comprehensive analysis, that takes the reader from an
introduction to specific biofuels, through the prospects for technology
and agriculture, to the economic, social and environmental implications
* Explores and analyzes the debates surrounding biofuels, offering authoritative conclusions
The world is on the verge of an unprecedented increase in the
production and use of biofuels for transport. The combination of rising
oil prices, issues of security, climate instability and pollution,
deepening poverty in rural and agricultural areas, and a host of
improved technologies, is propelling governments to enact powerful
incentives for the use of these fuels, which is in turn sparking
investment.
Biofuels for Transport is a unique and comprehensive assessment of
the opportunities and risks of the large-scale production of biofuels,
which demystifies complex questions and concerns, such as the 鈥渇ood v.
fuel鈥?debate. Global in scope, it is further informed by five country
studies from Brazil, China, Germany, India and Tanzania. The authors
conclude that biofuels will play a significant role in our energy
future, but warn that the large-scale use of biofuels carries risks
that require focused and immediate policy initiatives.
