Biofuels in Africa: Opportunities, Prospects, and Challenges

This book examines the potential of African countries to produce biofuels for export or domestic consumption and looks at the policy framework needed. It is part of the effort by the World Bank's Africa region to examine critical issues that affect the region and recommend policies that effectively address these issues while providing an enabling environment for the private sector. The book is intended to inform policymakers and the larger development community of the global and domestic market opportunities facing biofuel producers, as well as the challenges of producing biofuels, in the Africa region.
