The wider framework shaping biofuels development continues to evolve rapidly. Worldwide biofuels production and consumption is on the rise despite considerable swings in market conditions for feedstocks and end products. Policy & regulations supporting the development of biofuels are developing in many parts of the world. In the EU, the adoption of the Renewable Energy and Fuel Quality Directives in June 2009 was an important milestone. |
