“…In 2010 and 2011, the United States was a net exporter, which was primarily due to Brazil's low crop yields (U.S. International Trade Commission 2011). High exports are expected to continue, as the amount of ethanol that can be blended with gasoline is saturated and the demand for ethanol in the EU continues to grow (Junginger et al 2008). The majority of ethanol imports in the United States have come from Brazil despite specific tariffs against Brazilian ethanol.…”

“…With the expiration at the end of 2011 of the ethanol blenders credit-the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax-the incentive to consume ethanol domestically may decrease, and U.S. biodiesel consumption may become more prevalent. Currently, biodiesel imports also do not have a tariff, which allows Argentinean biodiesel to be imported to the United States and blended before being exported to the EU (Junginger et al 2008). …”

“…Although ethanol production was historically focused on beverages and sugars, in the last 10 years ethanol supply has turned toward fuel (Junginger et al 2008). Despite aggressive policies to encourage domestic consumption, Brazil still historically exported large quantities of fuel ethanol to the United States and the EU.…”

“…Argentina's policies have included tax credits for production as well as much lower export taxes than other vegetable oils (Lamers et al 2011). The result has been an industry focused on export primarily to the EU-often via the United States (Junginger 2008). The RFS is not expected to greatly increase the demand for biodiesel in the United States, so most Argentinean biodiesel will likely continue to go to the EU.…”

“…The main consumers of biodiesel in the EU are France, Germany and Italy (49% of the total) (EurObservER, 2016). In recent years, we have also observed an increase in vegetable oil imports from other EU countries and from the global market, and some countries have become increasingly dependent on imports (Junginger et al, 2008;Kalt and Kranzl, 2012). This paper analyses local initiatives to produce biofuel in North Western Europe and discusses their efficiency.…”

Production of biomass for bioenergy generation, and in particular production of biologically derived liquid fuels, is attracting great interest as an alternative to the fossil fuel economy. Biofuels represent as yet only 1% of world agricultural output, but this small extension has triggered widespread fears, many now shown to be groundless, such as the fear that it was biofuels that drove up food prices in 2008. This perspective reviews the literature on the extent to which biofuel production can be integrated into agricultural production, taking a global view of the potential for land, water and other resources to be extended beyond current food, feed and fi ber applications. As opposed to the focus on negative impacts, there are benefi cial practices in biofuels that could be expected to propagate to agriculture more generally and have a positive impact on yields and practices. These include (1) promoting a shift from wasteful annual crops to perennials, particularly low-input high-diversity (LIHD) crops; (2) sequestering carbon in soil both organically and as biochar; (3) improving conservative water management practices; and (4) recycling resources.The possibilities of encouraging biofuel production (and biomass for bioenergy generally) in the tropical South, for consumption in the temperate North, based on certifi cation of such sustainable practices in the South, could be expanded if global trade in biofuels were liberalized.
