Roadmap for sustainable biofuels in southern Africa - Regulatory frameworks for improved development?

Against the backdrop of the need for an increase in energy efficiency and a decrease in energy and resource utilisation, and for an economy that utilises fewer fossil raw materials and that relies more on renewable, environmentally friendly and natural resources, this publication gathers articles in the field of national and international policies and regulations concerning biofuels with a focus on southern Africa. Highlevel interdisciplinary research and topics of research include among others the science base for bioenergy and the presentation of examples of best practice. The finite nature of fossil raw materials and the necessity of climate protection call for a worldwide reform of energy and resource policies to promote the utilisation of renewable, natural resources. In this light, this publication makes a significant contribution with the intention to foster the dialogue on biofuels in southern Africa and beyond.With contributions by:Ryan Blanchard, Tjasa Bole-Rentel, Alan C Brent, Eddie G Cross, Johann F Görgens, Manisha Gulati, Chengetai E Hamadziripi, Johann H Krige, Sabrina Kumschick, Renata A Marcheti, Vincent Musewe, Antonio D Padula, Lena C Plato, David M Richardson, Oliver C Ruppel, Louise Scholtz and Willem H van Zyl
