Biofuels (Advanced)

Bioeconomy

Advanced (second and third generation) biofuels are biofuels produced from feedstock that do not compete directly with food and feed crops, such as wastes and agricultural residues (i.e. wheat straw, municipal waste), non-food crops (i.e. Miscanthus and short rotation coppice) and algae.
