Abstract
Liquid biofuels can provide a much needed substitute for fossil fuels used in the transport sector. They can contribute to climate and other environmental goals, energy security and economic development. However, in order to achieve such objectives many difficulties and challenges must be overcome. In the present study, we consider these issues from the view of realizing of global sustainability. In this paper, we first give the definition of sustainable development, then economic and environmental sustainability of biofuel are discussed. Finally, the social dimensions of biofuel sustainability are prospected.
