Biofuels Info Service
Nature and poverty related information for civil society organisations
and researchers in (potential) producer countries
Natureandpoverty.net and Biofuels
|
Natureandpoverty.net is a knowledge exchange and learning initiative co-ordinated by IUCN Netherlands Committee which is used and supported by several of their Dutch- based and Southern members and friends. Welcome to this knowledge community!
The introduction of biofuels has been applauded at first by many as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel consumption, and an opportunity for farmers to gain some extra income. Fossil fuel scarcity and prices, and the aim to lower CO2 emission, have resulted in a boom of biofuel production on agricultural lands; the most important feedstocks being sugarcane, corn, palmoil and more recently soy. However, many (potential) impacts of the production of such biofuels - or agrofuels - have been highlighted since, such as forest destruction, increased land use competition, rising food prices and even negative CO2 balances by direct or indirect land use changes. Especially because information is booming, we considered it useful to give readers a selective guide through documents - especially on livelihoods/landscape impacts of biofuels and the progress in standard setting, and point to some useful internet-based information sources of others. Please send comments and new materials to the editor: heleen.vandenhombergh@iucn.nl.
Check out info on the Indirect land Use Change (ILUC) debate directly through this LINK.
Disclaimer: We have downloaded materials from many different sources, always with the reference to the authors.

We hope our website informs decision-making, but self-evidently, we cannot take responsibility for decisions based on the info sources presented.

Biofuels Info Service Themes:
|
Livelihood, landscape & biodiversity studies and forecasts
About expected and real life effects of biofuels
|
The land use and livelihoods aspects of biofuels/agrofuel production - especially in developing counties - form the core theme of our information service. This section gives an overview of basic considerations before starting with any biofuel crop, and it gives some highlights of studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America and other areas.

|
Proceedings & presentations of conferences
Debates taking off in the 2007-2008 period
|
If any topic knew a boom of events and debates over the years 2007 and 2008 it has been the topic of biofuels and the debate has not stopped. Here, we present some highlights of proceedings of influential debates over those first 2 years.
>To introtext, documents and links
|
Position statements, policy notes and advocacy letters
Examples of taking a stand
|
This section is quite unique as it gives an overview of the position statements on biofuels of various Natureandpoverty.net partners and infuential expert organizations. If you write one yourself...here's your inspiration! It also offers examples of lobby letters.

|
Bioenergy potential and technological development
Some references to the technological discussions
|
Experts talk about the first, second and third generation biofuels, and of their potential. What does this mean and what is happening in the three categories of technological developments? On this wiki a humble contribution only.....
>To introtext, documents and links
|
Standard setting and its progress
EU and elsewhere
|
That unregulated production of (first generation) biofuels may have negative impacts, is widely acknowledged by now. But what can standard setting and certification do to control such effects? This section deals with a variety of initiatives and their progress.
>To introtext, documents and links
|
Bioenergy development policies
General, in EU and developing countries
|
This section is only recently created to gather materials on biofuel policies in developing countries (and how they relate to the EU & US policies). It also reports on the land use and CO2 EFFECTS of bioenergy policies in general. >To introtext, documents and links
|
Sustainable energy alternatives
Beyond biofuels?
|
First, second or third generation biofuels....or should one rather invest in other energy sources such as solar and wind energy, or locally produced biogas? Here, we mainly refer to other useful info sources.
