Description
The conversion of plant crops to biofuels is increasingly being seen as an answer to the growing concerns of climate change and security of energy supplies. Recent global, European and national policies look set to further reinforce the position of biofuels in the energy market and this is particularly true in the transport sector where biofuels offer one of the few alternatives to fossil fuels. Recently, however, concerns have been raised over the real potential of biofuels to deliver environmental, economic and social benefits.
This briefing aims to address a number of the complex issues surrounding the adoption and expansion of biofuels, with representatives from industry, academia and Government each giving their perspective on the role biofuels will play in our future.
