Bioenergy is clearly becoming a field of play for the world’s superpowers who create bilateral production and trade agreements (such as France and Brazil, China and Nigeria or Japan and Brazil), whereas regional biofuel cooperation agreements are being launched more and more as well (such as Africa’s ‘Green OPEC’ or Europe’s common policies or its biomass trading network). Different cooperation paradigms and strategies get intertwined (from purely economic deals to long-term geopolitical strategies and from ‘South-South’ to ‘North-South-North’ alliances).
Now a group of island states in the Indian Ocean are allying with China and Malaysia to create a regional biofuel production network.
