Biofuels for Transportation

As the United States seeks to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from motor vehicles and to lessen its dependence on imported oil, biofuels are gaining increasing attention as one possible solution. This paper offers an...

The Annual Energy Outlook 2008 (AEO2008), prepared by the Energy Information Administration (EIA), presents long-term projections of energy supply, demand, and prices through 2030. The projections are based on results from EIA’s...

The U.S. transportation sector is currently 97% dependent on oil. This heavy reliance on mostly imported oil leaves the U.S. vulnerable to supply interruptions, price fluctuations, economic instability, and consumer hardships....

Technology solutions will be key to reducing the U.S. transportation system’s use of petroleum-based fuels. And, as those clean energy and energy efficiency technologies are developed and fielded, we need them to be domestic...

The global energy solutions in general are unsustainable, and the situation is the worst in the transport sector, which is almost totally dependent on crude oil. The demand for energy in transportation is growing. A gap between...

This report is part of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP)’s ongoing efforts to monitor the status of bioenergy development in member countries and create a basis for future discussion of sustainability criteria and possible...

The main aim of this report is to assess options for mitigating climate change. Several aspects link climate change with development issues. This report explores these links in detail, and illustrates where climate change and...

This document was prepared at the initiative of the Chair of the Round Table on Sustainable Development at the OECDBiofuels have been championed as an energy source that can increase security of supply, reduce vehicle emissions...

Bioenergy is playing an increasingly important role as an alternative and renewable source of energy. Bioenergy includes solid biomass, biogas, and liquid biofuels. Combustion of biomass residues for heat and power generation is...

This paper provides an overview of policy measures currently applied to support the production and consumption of biofuels. It also discusses how the different policies supportive of biofuels interact with broader agricultural,...
