Liquid biofuels, renewable fuels derived from biomass, are one of the best positioned fuels to transition away from petroleum in the near-term and have made a recent resurgence in response to rising oil prices. However, while the technical details of biofuels have been thoroughly studied, there has been less focus on what constitutes a strategic deployment. Further, with an increasing number of countries and regions declaring support for rapid biofuel development, it is crucial to understand the full affects of these petroleum reduction policies.
