C/B/1074. Dissertation. Do renewable fuels provide a viable alternative to fossil fuels for logistics managers?

The dissertation examines whether with the increase of fuel prices and a growing concern about the environment, logistics managers should consider switching to renewable fuels, especially biofuel, as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Primary research is conducted in the form of interviews with oil producers and students; secondary data analysis is presented on the basis of a literature review related to the impact of renewables on logistics. Conclusions are made that biofuels are not currently economical for large scale usage; recommendations are suggested about the production and distribution of biofuels.
