在过去十年中，随着生物燃料的大量发展，也产生了大量的评估。这些活动对生物燃料的讨论、政策和发展产生了重要影响，但它们在方法、范围和质量上也各不相同。这使得很难确定和评价评估结果，也很难以有益的方式协调知识。我们对一组“关键”评估应用了系统的评估框架，并与专家生产者和用户举行了一次研讨会，以考虑生物燃料评估的质量和价值。有人建议，需要采取一种更加综合的评估办法，或许可以设立一个委员会来综合评估结果。这种“结论层面”的整合方法不同于文献中常见的“数据层面”的方法，可能是一种更适当的整合生物燃料评估中获得的知识的方法，为政策提供信息。
Alongside substantial biofuel development over the past decade, a vast number of assessments have also been produced. These have had an important influence upon biofuel discourse, policy and development, but they also vary in their methods, scope and quality. This makes it difficult to identify and evaluate assessments and to coordinate knowledge in a useful way. We applied a systematic evaluative framework to a set of 'key' assessments and conducted a workshop with expert producers and users to consider the quality and value of biofuel assessments. It was suggested that a more integrated approach to assessment is needed, perhaps with the establishment of a committee to integrate findings. Such a 'findings-level' approach to integration differs from the 'data-level' approach often found in the literature, and may present a more appropriate means of integrating knowledge gained in biofuel assessments to inform policy.
