Legal Status of Wood-based Biofuels

Although there had been much controversy over agriculturally-based biofuels, wood-based biofuels are now being examined for their potential to provide necessary energy. The goal of this research is to provide an overview of how this industry is treated under international and regional trade regimes and examine the possibility for an international treaty on biofuels in general. The legal framework for clean-energy alternatives such as wind power in the Canadian Arctic is also being examined. Papers will be published in appropriate law journals throughout 2009-2010
