NABC Report 19: Agricultural Biofuels: Technology, Sustainability, and Profitability
Author
Hunt, Suzanne
Abstract

The Worldwatch Institute has examined key sustainability issues and how to deal with them. The aim was to have biofuels taken seriously at a time when the focus was firmly on fossil fuels and when renewable forms of energy were not seen as likely to make significant contributions. Biofuels are not guaranteed to be green or sustainable or will solve everything problem from energy-security to poverty to climate change unless we are deliberate in how we develop them.
