Developments in Bioenergy Production across the World - Electricity, Heat and Second Generation Biofuels

This report contains explanations to a dataset on global bioenergy production that has been commissioned by the OECD, Directorate for Trade and Agriculture. The dataset has been developed to support a model-based analysis on the assessment of support policies to bioenergy from agriculture including biofuels, bioelectricity and bioheat. This report contains data on the production of biomass from agricultural land, transportation of biomass and its use for electricity, heat, 2nd generation biofuels and biodiesel from tropical vegetable oils. It complements the report of Smeets et al., 2005 on first generation biofuels.
