Biofuels (Biodiesel and bioethanol) are renewable fuels to substitute petroleum in our vehicles. Currently the European Union has mandated 10% of biofuel in their vehicles in the next 10 years. It is claimed that biofuel can help to reduce emission of green house gases and mitigate the effects of global warming. Do you agree with that?

We are from School of Chemical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia, currently conducting a project to investigate the Biofuel market in Malaysia. Please feel free to help with the short survey below, it takes you about 1 - 2 mins only.

We hope to know the situation in Malaysia. Your contribution to this survey is very much appreciated!

This issue remains controversial. But the scientists are looking for non-edible source as feedstock. Such as algae and woody biomass.

You got the point. Jatropha is water-crazy and the yield largely depends on climate. A thirsty jatropha gives little oil. Oil palm definitely dominates in average yield/ha.
