Description (excerpt):

Liquid biofuels are being increasingly used to substitute fuels derived from oil. A number of governments have provided incentives for the liquid biofuel industry, prompted by a desire to increase self-sufficiency in fuel supplies against the backdrop of high and volatile oil prices, support domestic agriculture and promote rural development, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the light of emerging scientific evidence on the pace of climate change.
