This report reviews the drivers around the recent rush to biofuels and provides a snapshot of this technology and its potential. It also attempts, using a “systems thinking” approach, to reframe the debate from one of technology to one focused on the services that transportation fuels provide and the factors that shape these services in the global economy. Through this lens, a range of options that are more economically, socially and environmentally attractive than biofuels come to the fore.
