Biofuelwatch is a volunteer-led campaign group which receives no commercial or government funding.

Biofuelwatch aims to:

(a) Campaign against industrial bioenergy, i.e. energy linked to industrial agriculture and industrial forestry. This includes agrofuels, both current ones and 'second generation' ones.

(b) Campaign in particular against the drivers of the demand for industrial bioenergy, i.e. against the policies which create an artificial market for agrofuels and other types of large-scale bioenergy and against the companies responsible for land-grabbing and land-conversion for industrial bioenergy.

(c) Support organisations and communities who are negatively affected by industrial bioenergy expansion, for example through sharing of information, media and publicity work and supporting relevant protest email actions.

(d) Actively support community groups and other local organisations campaigning against industrial bioenergy.

(e) Support campaigns for food sovereignty and biodiverse, small-scale agriculture, by Via Campesina and other groups.

(f) Raise awareness of the essential role which biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, including healthy soils, play in regulating the global climate, of the fact that the biodiversity crisis and the climate crisis are closely linked and cannot be addressed in isolation, and of the need for major reductions in overall consumption, including of energy and wood products particularly in the global North.
