Biofuels for Transport: Policies and Possibilities

Biofuels are of growing public and private interest at a time of rapidly rising world energy demand and high oil prices. But are biofuels for transport a viable alternative to power our cars, trucks and buses? Do they deliver the expected environmental benefits? And what role should public policy play in their development?

These are some of the questions addressed by a the report titled Biofuels for Transport: Policies and Possibilities produced by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The OECD and the IEA are currently undertaking additional analyses and will provide a detailed economic assessment of biofuels and related policies in mid-2008.
