Anotace:	* A unique global assessment of the potential opportunities and risks of biofuels<br /><br />* 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<br /><br />* Explores and analyzes the debates surrounding biofuels, offering authoritative conclusions<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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 “food v. fuel” 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.
