The sharp rise in demand for liquid fuels, and the subsequent increase in oil prices led to renewed interest in biofuels. Unfortunately competition for biodiesel and bioethanol has resulted in a sharp rise in food prices, and a shortage of some food staples that form the basis of the diet of the poorest people in developing countries. A number of currently unused of uneconomical feedstocks could be processed to make both fuel and food without putting further pressure on existing food supplies.

对液体燃料的需求急剧上升，以及随后油价的上涨，重新引发了人们对生物燃料的兴趣。不幸的是，对生物柴油和生物乙醇的竞争导致粮食价格急剧上涨，一些构成发展中国家最贫穷人口饮食基础的主食短缺。一些目前未使用的不经济的原料可以加工成燃料和食品，而不会对现有的粮食供应造成进一步的压力。
