Global biofuel production rose in 2009 to a total of 92.8 billion liters from 84.7 billion liters in 2008, a 9.6-percent increase. This was a far smaller increase than the nearly 44 percent jump from 2007 to 2008, largely due to the worldwide recession and lower Brazilian production. With worldwide oil production falling 2.6 percent from 2008 to 2009, biofuels accounted for 2 percent of all transport fuel, up from 1.8 percent in 2008.
