       Agrofuels and agroenergy -- Ethanol production -- 
       Agrodiesel production -- The collateral effects of

       - Alternative ways of solving the climate and energy 
       crises and the role of agrofuels. 
520    "Since they were heralded as a key weapon in the fight 
       against climate change, agrofuels have been criticised 
       heavily for doing more harm than good due to deforestation
       and stealing agricultural land essential to farmers in the
       developing world. This book asks whether there is any 
       place for agrofuels in a low-carbon future. François 
       Houtart argues that the green potential of agrofuels has 
       been wasted by businesses that put profits above 
       environmental protection. This has led to the absurd 
       situation where an energy source that should be 
       sustainable actually increases human and ecological damage,
       simply due to the profit-maximising decisions of 
       capitalists rather than a flaw in the concept of 
       agrofuels. Students of development studies and 
       environmental economics will find that this book offers an
       interesting new perspective on the future of energy."--
