| Abstract | This review was motivated by the notion of intergenerational equity, which inherently should contain the concept of sustainability. Six kinds of biofuel feedstock were compared with three different principles of sustainability; social, economical, and environmental. The types were: Palm oil, soybeans, jatropha, cassava, sugarcane, and lignocellulosic biomass. ASEAN region figures were used for comparison when attainable. On all three accounts the best result were gained from lignocellulosic biomass and the two types of feedstock that were chosen to represent the larger class of lignocellulosic biomass; Napier- and switchgrass. They were used to emulate feedstock cultivation for biofuel purposes rather than using agricultural waste. Jatropha's low yield keeps it from being a serious contender. Lastly, the high price of palm oil keeps it from being an economical feedstock, but necessary as a food oil. |
