The "Saudi Arabia" of Biofuels?

Is Southeast Asia the Saudi Arabia of Biofuels? At least one speaker at World Bioenergy 2010 thinks that’s the potential. Southeast Asia has abundant resources of biomass, and they can be supplied in a sustainable way. To develop production of bioenergy in all parts of the world, new bioenergy crops are needed: woody crops such as willows and eucalyptus, sugar, oil, starch-rich crops, grasses and algae, etc. Is it better to rely on well-known crops such as corn and sugar cane? Or should we go for the new crops, such as switch grass and Jatropha? What is the economy of these new crops, and what is the current state of practice? World Bioenergy 2010 takes place 25-27 May 2010 in Jönköping, Sweden.
