The rise and fall of innovation in biofuels   pp814 - 821
Stevan C Albers, Annabelle M Berklund and Gregory D Graff
doi:10.1038/nbt.3644
A look at the global landscape of biofuel patenting shows that, after surging between 2004 and 2008, the invention of biofuel technologies slowed considerably, and in many countries went into decline. Global trends point to an uncertain future, in particular, for advanced biofuels.
