Global Bilfuel Trade. How Uncoordinated Biofuel Policy Fuels Resource Use and GHG Emissions
Abstract
Global intra industry trade in biofuels is described and analyzed in detail. The authors look into features of trade in boifuels related to impact of ecological legislation in different countries which was developed independently in different jurisdictions and for different markets. The authors also make recommendations in respect of ways governments could contribute to the ecological goals without infringing other goals for example food security.
