The present work describes an investigation concerning the biofuels production and consumption, from 2000 to 2010, of different regions: Asia and Oceania; Central and South America; European Union and North America. The Brazilian case is also studied. In all regions studied, the production and consumption grows significantly in this period. The production is local and adapts to agricultural inputs available for production, being an activity related to regional development. It is also observed that Europe has greater production and consumption of biodiesel, while Brazil and the U.S. have higher production and consumption of ethanol. Furthermore, biofuels increased their relevance in energy matrices around the world

Abstract
The present work describes an investigation concerning the biofuels production and consumption, from 2000 to 2010, of different regions: Asia and Oceania; Central and South America; European Union and North America. The Brazilian case is also studied. In all regions studied, the production and consumption grows significantly in this period. The production is local and adapts to agricultural inputs available for production, being an activity related to regional development. It is also observed that Europe has greater production and consumption of biodiesel, while Brazil and the U.S. have higher production and consumption of ethanol. Furthermore, biofuels increased their relevance in energy matrices around the worldI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
