Biofuels, processed from biomass- a renewable resource, are a direct substitute for traditional petrol and diesel. Moreover, they can readily be integrated into fuel supply systems. During 2005, Sweden was the leading consumer, with about 80% of the quantities imported, mostly from Brazil. However, various funding programs have encouraged the use of biofuel in the countries including Germany and the EU among others.

Brazil is the world's leading producer of bio-ethanol, contributing slightly less than half the world's total, followed by the United States.
