In its Progress Report on Biofuels the European Commission proposes a more restrictivebiofuel directive which sets a mandatory minimum share of biofuels in total fuel consumption in thetransport sector of 10% per Member State by 2020. This is likely to have a strong impact on demandfor biofuel...

This paper analyzes the consequences of enhanced biofuel production in regions and countries of the world that have announced plans to implement or expand on biofuel policies. The analysis considers not only mandatory blending targets for transportation fuels, but also voluntary ones. The chosen...
