Biofuels Reduce Risk of Oil Price Spikes
08.14.08
According to a report by the UK’s Royal Institute of International Affairs, oil prices could reach $200 per barrel if demand does not decrease over the next five to ten years.
Inadequate investments by national and international oil companies and a supply crunch around 2013 could lead to the spike. The Institute said energy policy needed to reduce oil demand, increase oil supplies or increase non-conventional fuels such as biofuels.
