Agrofuels: a boost of energy for the Mekong region?

Agrofuels, strongly promoted by agribusiness corporations, have attracted the interest governments in the region of Mekong, which have drafted various policies to stimulate their development. The ADB is also ready to promote this sector and has proposed a sub-regional framework for developing rural renewable energy and agrofuels, which was accepted by representatives of Greater Mekong Subregion country governments in late 2008.
