Biofuels and Food Security — A zero-draft consultation paper
This Report starts with outlining the main policies taken at national and regional level for the promotion and creation of biofuels markets. While Brazil, the US and the EU clearly dominate production, more than 50 countries have adopted biofuels targets and/or incorporated transport fuels mandates for the development of biofuels. In addition, while policies have been elaborated at national or at most regional level these have led to trade and investment in biofuels on a global scale.

Sources and Uses of Wood for Energy
As of August 2007, about 2.1% of energy used in the United States came from wood. This could potentially increase to about 10.0% of U.S. energy use. What are the sources of wood-based energy, and how can wood be used to make energy?
