The development of biofuels is a major focus for R&D. Many organisations have produced information on the technical details of biofuel development including Stanford University and EuropaBio. The RSC has also published various journal articles in this area. The June 2007 issue of Green Chemistry is a special issue containing papers presented at the Symposium on Green Chemistry for Fuel Synthesis and Processing
