Biofuels for Tranport

I just recently attended a workshop in Stockholm on the topic "Governance of Innovation towards Sustainability: The Global Transport Sector". Whew! It was a very interesting workshop with vibrant discussions on the future of transport. There were participants from Japan, China and across Europe. I presented on biofuels for transport in Europe, and discussed visionary plans, policy frameworks, stakeholder networks, local actions and sustainability issues.

Here is my presentation and next year a book will be produced on the workshop findings.

I am focused on biofuels mostly, but I am very interested in the biofinery concept to produce fuels, materials and chemicals.

It's a very interesting film on TED - "Are mushrooms the new plastic?" There is no doubt that creating "fungus-based packaging material that protects fragile stuff like furniture, plasma screens" is a great idea!
