On a global scale, there are three regions that produce biofuels: mainly France and Germany in Europe, the USA, and Brazil. Each region specialises on a specific crop, and the production technologies vary greatly. Biodiesel is concentrated in Europe and in 2005 France and Germany supplied 69% of the global biodiesel. Bioethanol production is concentrated in two countries: Brazil and the USA and in 2005, they together accounted for 80% of global ethanol production (Msangi et al. 2007; Zuurbier, 2008). While Brazil's biofuels production has grown steadily since the 1980s, then in the USA, the production started to hike in 2003 with the Renewable Fuel Standard legislation. In Europe, biofuels production started to rise in 2005, as depicted on figure 2. Figure 2. World biofuels production ( F.o. Licht's World Ethanol and Biofuels Report, 2006) Figure 3.
