1. Background of the Project
• Future shortage and increasing prices of fossil fuels
• Global climate change due to emission of GHGs
• Income opportunities for farmers in rural areas
• A lot of single studies, no consistent study of prospects and risks of Bio fuels in an international context
2. Objectives
• Comprehensive study of the issue:„Bio fuels for Transportation“ in a global environment (guided by principles of sustainable agriculture, energy, and transport)
• Positioning the study results in the international debate
3. Project PartnersGerman Ministry of Consumer protection, food and agriculture (BMVEL) – commissioner
Agency Renewable Resources (FNR) - Backstopping
German Technical Cooperation (GTZ)
World Watch Institute (WWI) in Washington/USA
4. Target Group

Schemes to Support Bio Fuels
• Tax exemptionSince 1.4.2004 pure and part of biofuel inblendings (in 1990s only pure biofuels)
• Quality Standard (Biodiesel)
• Subsidy 45 Euro/ha energy crops

Main questions related to German supply
• Will the German automobile and fuel industries expand their demand more in diesel or bioethanol area?
• Should the German Government continue to subsidize production in country?
• Should Germany open up its markets for imports?• How can Tanzania benefit from an increased
