Plants that are used as feedstock for Biofuel production absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide during their life time. Subsequent combustion of the oil results in a closed greenhouse gas cycle. Biofuel in principle can thus play a vital role in sustainable mobility concepts.

The agricultural commodity base of the current biofuels has ramifications for the sustainability of the food and animal-feed supply system, and many countries are looking to other biomass resources and second-generation biofuels for sustained growth. (for example Jatropha)

By developing nations producing their own biodiesel, they will gain greater energy security, save valuable foreign currency, potentially become an exporter of biodiesel, and protect their own environment

Bioenergy offers new growth opportunities in many rural areas of developing countries, but it is important to guarantee the livelihoods and well being of the most vulnerable. It must be ensured that the price of food does not impair the food security of the poor
