Implementing biofuels on a global scale

Article Abstract:

Several key socioeconomic, technological and financial mechanisms continue to hinder implementation of more global and proactive actions in energy policy to prevent dramatic climate change. It is suggested that a viable working model, where new business opportunities would arise from the challenges, could provide the impetus to a national and international transition to alternative fuels compatible with climate protection.

Can biofuels finally take center stage?

Article Abstract:

The US President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address in January 2006 stated that biofuels could help ease the addiction of the US to foreign oil, and he proposed slating $150 million for biofuels as part of his 2007 Advanced Energy Initiative. About 140 farm, forestry and environmental groups have endorsed the '25 by 25' campaign, which advocates that 25% of US energy come from arable land by 2025.
