ABSTRACT
Germany is currently a major player in the European Union’s biofuel strategy. The country’s domestic policy framework provides strong support for increasing the share of biofuels in road transport. While the national focus has historically been on biodiesel, other biofuels such as ethanol, Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) diesel and biogas are gaining in importance. This summary discusses the current extent of German biofuel production and explores the potential for continued domestic production in the future, including implications for the agricultural sector and related industries.
