Description
The Energy Working Group’s Biofuels Task Force is nterested in developing a consensus message on biofuel economics and trade. A central focus for the Task Force is to evaluate the potential of biofuels to cost-effectively displace the use of petroleumbased fuels in transport. The objective of this study is to analyze and compare the cost of production of various biofuels against the petroleum-based fuels they displace, factoring out the impact of subsidies wherever possible. The study expands and updates an analysis of biofuel economics that was presented by the Biofuels Task Force to the 8th Energy Ministers Meeting (EMM-8) in 2007.
