Technology Roadmapping for Renewable Fuels: Case of Biobutanol in Brazil

Technology roadmapping has been used to define long term strategies and research agenda for the development of biofuels. The present work proposes the use of technology roadmapping as a technique for long term strategic planning of the biobutanol development, aligning long term goals with the resour...
