With increased global interest in biofuels, Zambia, a Sub-Saharan African country that entirely depends on imports for its petroleum supply, is planning to implement blending mandates for biofuels. But, a large number of issues-including production costs of biofuels, land requirements to meet the mandates, and environmental benefits-have not yet been explored.
