This paper presents the results of a calculation model for biofuel production costs in 2015 and 2020 based on raw material price projections and considering scale and learning effects. Distinguishing six types of biofuels, the paper finds that scale economies and learning effects are critical...

The EU bioethanol market has irrevocably entered the new era inaugurated by the Biofuels Directive. Most of the governments have decided to introduce mandatory ethanol blending into fuels to demonstrate their continuing political support for renewable energy sources and to encourage industry to...
