Published in BioWorld's intuitive and objective editorial style, this informative and analytical report delivers data, news and analysis designed to stimulate and facilitate your reasoned executive agenda.

The contemporary biofuels market, born amid the chaos of the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973, has alternately sputtered, stalled and lurched, but has yet to cruise at its objective speed limit on the road to challenging gasoline as the transportation fuel of choice. Is this market now a 35-year-old jalopy or still a next-generation prototype? The biofuels market certainly isn't yet cruising along, but what is its status: broken down ... idling ... coasting ... waiting for new parts?
