Summary: There is a continuously increasing interest concerning the bio-fuel implementation in the world, mainly because of environmental protection and energy supply security reasons.

Therefore, specially related with developing countries it is necessary find opportunities to produce their own domestic transportation, cut their energy costs, create new jobs in their rural economies and ultimately build their export markets.
