Welcome to the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance

Our Mission

The Global Renewable Fuels Alliance is an international federation representing over 60 percent of the world's renewable fuels production from 30 different countries.

Through the development of new technology and best practices, our members are committed to producing renewable fuels with the smallest possible ecological footprint.

The GRFA is committed to promoting the expanded use of renewable fuels throughout the world through the advocacy of sound public policy and responsible research.

Study: Global biofuels reduce GHGs by 123.5 million tonnes
Reductions offset double the emissions from Denmark

TORONTO – December 9, 2009 – Just in time for the critical climate talks now underway in Copenhagen, new data once again confirms the significant greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions from global biofuels production.

Prepared by (S&T)² Consultants Inc., an internationally recognized energy and environmental consulting firm, the report demonstrates that world biofuels production in 2009 has reduced global GHG emissions by 123.5 million tonnes representing an average reduction of 57% compared to the emissions that would have occurred from the production and use of equal quantities of petroleum fuels.
