37. Global production of ethanol and biodiesel increased from 4.8 billion
gallons in 2000 to 21 billion gallons in 2008.
Globally, irrigation water allocation to biofuel production is estimated
at 44 billion cubic meters.
With current planning, biofuel crops will require 30 million ha of cropland
and 180 billion cubic meters of additional irrigation water.
