Biofuel development in Tanzania places at stake 4 highly strategic national resources: land, water, forests and labour, and for generations to come. This alone is sufficient reason for the Tanzanian general public and rural communities in particular, to wrestle back the initiative and seek direct engagement in determining the best way forward for the nation. Such engagement if it is to be undertaken from a position of informed opinion and in the context of transparent, purposeful and meaningful debate, has to be preceded by the most sustained and comprehensive study as to the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, biofuels are known or likely to be associated with. This study documents, from a historical perspective at the national and international level, how Tanzania has entered into the biofuel industry while highlighting challenges and opportunities.
