Abstract

Use of biofuels dates from the early days of the Diesel engine and the Otto motor that currently dominate road transport. After being replaced by fossil fuels, transport biofuels currently make a come-back. Use of transport biofuels has expanded rapidly since 2004 and this in turn has sparked a debate about their pros and cons. This chapter discusses current and proposed transport fuels, their production and costs. Key issues in the current biofuel debate, such as impact on food prices and the contribution to energy security, are introduced as well.
