"Biofuels" – fuels such as ethanol made from corn and biodiesel made from palm oil – are a growing but controversial energy source. While some have called for an end to biofuel use due to environmental and social concerns, others (including governments and corporations) see great potential – for meeting energy needs, helping the climate and boosting rural incomes.


The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels
RSB releases "Version Zero" -- the first draft for wide public comment for the "Principles on Sustainable Biofuel Production"
Comments can be submitted directly on the BioenergyWiki or via email.
 
Collaboration project: The Obama Administration and biofuels
The change of administration in the United States in January 2009 will likely bring changes in US policy on biofuels. Help document the proposals being made for the Obama Administration and track new policies as they are formulated and adopted by editing the BioenergyWiki page on the Obama Administration's policies.

Featured quote:

"Biofuels are the most damaging choice we could make in our efforts to move away from using fossil fuels. We should be spending to promote energy technologies that cause significant reductions in carbon emissions and air-pollution mortality, not technologies that have either marginal benefits or no benefits at all."
--Mark Z. Jacobson, professor at Stanford University, quoted 17 December 2008 in RenewableEnergyWorld.com.
