Sharing Knowledge for the Future of Bioenergy
Information on biofuels and bioenergy that anyone can edit!

"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.

Featured quote:

"Time and again the government has been warned that their policy of targets [for biofuels] without safeguards is madness....When will it admit it has got this wrong and bring in proper sustainability criteria for biofuels?"
--UK "shadow environment secretary Peter Ainsworth" quoted in UK 'should end biofuel subsidies'.

Today's Wiki tip: You may have noticed that there are now two search boxes on the left hand side of the screen. One of these is the original MediaWiki search bar and the other uses the google engine.

  • The MediaWiki search bar will take you directly to pages or find your search string in the text of the "mark-up", like what you see when you edit a page. This function will not find strings shorter then 4 characters, so a search for "WTO" will not show anything.
  • The Google search uses the standard google search engine to search the wiki.
  • Both of these engines have their strengths, weakness, and quirks. So we recommend trying both if you are trying to find specific information!
