The Petroleum Economist Forum on Biofuels

"Biofuels are… meeting transport fuel demand. They represented 49% of the growth in non-OPEC oil supply in 2007, expected to rise to 55% in 2008".(IEA Statement, July 2008)

Internationally, the risk of economic dependence on expensive oil has strengthened the support for the development of better biofuels technology. Bolstered by regulatory support and strong investment, the opportunities for building a commercially viable business continues to become a reality for energy producers.
