REEEP looks at complexity of producing biofuels in South Africa

May 2007

The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), one of the leading non-profit organizations promoting clean energy in the developing world, is studying the potential and problems associated with biofuels in South Africa. Simon Wilson of the African Sustainable Fuels Centre leads the effort for REEEP and helped produce a study assessing the biofuel potential of the country. In this exclusive article, he sketches the complexities of the situation and concludes that a strong land use policy is a key point in developing biofuels in a country with limited resources.
