Food and Fuel: The Outlook for Biofuels to 2020

In March 2008 Wood Mackenzie published a unique study on the long-term outlook for the global biofuels market. This very well-received report provided clients with a fully-integrated analysis of the biofuels supply chain - from field to pump.

The year since the study was released has seen extreme volatility in the global economy and energy and agricultural markets. At the same time, the debate on the future of biofuels policy has been intense, and a number of important new polices have been announced. In response to client demand, Wood Mackenzie has undertaken a thorough reassessment of the outlook for the global biofuels market, which will provide clients with the following information:
