Is Ethanol The Answer?
America is drunk on ethanol.
Farmers in the Midwest are sending billions of bushels of corn to refineries that turn it into billions of gallons of fuel. Automakers in Detroit have already built millions of cars, trucks and SUVs that can run on it, and are committed to making millions more. In Washington, politicians have approved generous subsidies for companies that make ethanol. | 07-19-2007
2006-07 production statistics confirm a strong growth in the EU, but legislative and fair trade improvements are urgently needed to confirm expansion
EBB official figures confirm that the overall biodiesel production in EU has increased from 3,2 million tonnes in 2005 to nearly 4,9 million tonnes in 2006. This represents a 54% yearly growth for EU biodiesel production, which follows a 65% record high growth in the previous year 2005. | 07-06-2007
Small Talk: Biofuel investors lose out as board plays blame game
The demise of Biofuels Corporation might have been widely predicted but it highlights the fact that even if an industry has the potential to start laying golden eggs, you've still got to find a capable midwife. Shares in Biofuels, the UK's largest biodiesel producer, touched 300p about two years ago. But the company is set to de-list from AIM after Barclays forced it to accept a debt-for-equity swap that will, in effect, leave remaining shareholders with just 6 per cent of the company. | 06-27-2007

Europe is catching up with U.S. biofuel
On Francois-Xavier Letang’s farm, yellow-flowering canola fields hold the promise of a payoff that is changing the color of the European landscape and the future of its transportation: biodiesel. | 06-06-2007
Diverse markets
Food, fuel and wood markets are merging together as a consequence of the search for alternatives to gasoline, CIBC World Markets investment analyst Don Roberts said Tuesday.
Roberts said the convergence of such diverse markets is already under way and poses both a threat and an opportunity to existing industries. | 06-06-2007
EU moving further on climate change

Brazil Ethanol Could Stay Champ As Cellulosic Tech Matures
Brazil's sugarcane sector is likely to be one of the first industries in the world to produce economically viable ethanol via new cellulosic technologies, participants at a Sao Paulo ethanol conference said Monday. | 05-29-2007
With measure of caution, Europe joins biofuel gold rush
A year ago, this lush coastal field near Rome was filled with orderly rows of delicate durum wheat, used to make high quality Italian pasta. Today it overflows with rapeseed, a tall, gnarled weedlike plant bursting with coarse yellow flowers that has become a new manna for European farmers: rapeseed can be turned into biofuel. |
