The African continent could generate nearly a quarter of its energy needs through the use of indigenous, clean, renewable energy by 2030, according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

More than 40 percent of US corn is now used to produce biofuels, which are used as substitutes for gasoline in transportation.

This report examines energy sector vulnerabilities to climate change impacts at the regional level. It reviews the composition, operation, and management of regional energy systems including regional energy resources, private and public infrastructure, imports and exports, and energy consumption patterns.

Global Marine Fuel Trends 2030 from Lloyd’s Register and University College London’s Energy Institute explores the drivers for the future energy mix in shipping in 2030.

The Policy aims at mainstreaming of biofuels and, therefore, envisions a central role for it in the energy and transportation sectors of the country in coming decades.

Global food prices will continue to decline over the next decade as a result of a combination of strong crop yields, higher productivity and slower growth in global demand says this new report released by OECD-FAO.

BP’s 2015 edition of its Statistical Review of World Energy highlights how significant changes in global energy production and consumption have had profound implications for prices, for the global fuel mix, and for global carbon dioxide emissions.

Biofuels are acquiring importance due to their potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The two most important biofuels – viz., bioethanol and bio-diesel, are largely considered supplementary to the transport fuels. India has extensive programs and aims to blend 20 percent of transport fuels with biofuels by 2017.

The promise, prospects, and public policy trade-offs related to second-generation biofuels in road transport were addressed in an executive session convened at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, on April 7 and 8, 2015.
