DOI: DOI: 10.1596/1813-9450-6499Online resources: Summary: With increased global interest in biofuels, Zambia, a Sub-Saharan African country that entirely depends on imports for its petroleum supply, is planning to implement blending mandates for biofuels. But, a large number of issues-including production costs of biofuels, land requirements to meet the mandates, and environmental benefits-have not yet been explored. This study aims to contribute in filling this gap. It finds that depending on feedstock type, costs of ethanol production range from USPPN: PPN: 834978784Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-WBA | ZDB-110-WBLNo physical items for this record
