In 2007, the biofuels industry continues to attract U.S. and global attention as fears mount over the impact of greenhouse-gas emitting fossil fuels, rising oil prices and our growing dependence on foreign oil. Two key biofuels, biodiesel and ethanol, are at the forefront of on-going R&D and have garnered much attention from the investment community. However ‘next generation’ technologies are fast gaining recognition as the sustainable, renewable fuel of the future.
