Brazil of biofuels: Animal fat, palm oil, cotton, jatropha, sunflower and rapeseed (Vol. 5)
This fifth report by the Biofuel Watch Centre (BWC) presents an unprecedented study on the use of animal fat to produce biodiesel, besides dedicating special attention to two crops that have not been covered by this series of studies: sunflower and rapeseed. Also new are case studies on the use of vegetable oils to generate energy in isolated communities in the Amazon. Besides such extension of its investigation focus, the report also features analysis on the impacts of oil palm, cotton, and jatropha - crops that have already been examined in a 2008 study, but which present news that warrant their approach in the present work.
