Analysis of Biofuels Policy in the Nordic Countries

Abstract

This brief study of biofuel policy in the Nordic countries analyses key policy documents, policy instruments for realising the strategies, government funding of related RD&D and considers how European and national policies outline their intensions to develop and use biofuels and describes the policy path taken so far. The study is centred on policies supporting new generations of biofuels which utilize non-food feedstock and are less demanding with regard to the use of land and water resources.
