Abstract

Given growing population, rising income level, and expanding urbanization, Asia’s demand for oil is expected to keep increasing rapidly. However, with limited resource reserves, most of the countries in this region are heavily dependent on import for their oil supply, which is a major, if not the most critical, concern in the countries energy policies. Though it has been debated intensively, biofuel is perceived as one of the possible options to address the oil security issue since expanding the use of biofuel will not only result to oil demand reduction but also contribute to diversification of liquid fuels import sources. Moreover, biofuel production also provides an additional way to increase farmer’s income.
