• Biofuel sustainability and the formation of transnational hybrid governance (2015, background): “‘global integrated biofuel network’ (Mol 2007) or value chain (Ponte 2014a).”
• Sustainable Food Security: An Emerging Research and Policy Agenda (2014, background): “than foods (Mol, 2007), and the proliferation of ‘land grabbing’ activities in the Global South.”
• Issues to consider, existing tools and constraints in biofuels sustainability assessments. (2011, background): “Recently, however, 95% of the increased production of palm oil in Malaysia and Indonesia was driven by the growing demand for biodiesel [9,10,18].”
• Exploring the ‘New Rural Paradigm’ in Europe: Eco-economic strategies as a counterforce to the global competitiveness agenda (2014, background): “…from a ‘bio-economy’, which relies on the (largely corporate-controlled) production of biomass and biofuels, along with other related strands (e.g. biotechnology, genomics, chemical engineering, enzyme technology) (Marsden, 2010; see also Anex, 2004; Juma and Konde, 2001; OECD, 2005; Mol, 2007).”
• Towards the real green revolution? : Exploring the conceptual dimensions of a new ecological modernisation of agriculture that could 'feed the world' (2011, background): “Land competition has also increased as a result of the production of crops for biofuels (Mol, 2007).”
• Food versus fuel? Going beyond biofuels (2016, background): “By the early 2000s, it was argued that biofuels would help reduce agricultural price volatility (Londo and Deurwaarder, 2007; Mol, 2007; Clancy, 2008) and provide a compensatory measure to reduced direct subsidies via alternative market creation (Sharman and Holmes 2010).”
• EU criteria for sustainable biofuels: accounting for carbon, depoliticising plunder (2013, background): “Through an increasingly ‘global integrated biofuel network’, transboundary flows of biomass and biofuels subordinate land use to global market forces, thus intensifying resource conflicts (Mol, 2007).”
