TY - Type of reference TI - Emergence of a biofuel production and innovation system in Burkina Faso: analysis of the determinants and the stakes for its development AU - Salif Derra AB - Emulation as a product of biofuel production lead to the installation of biofuel projects in Burkina Faso to promote economic development. The economic potential this production represents has lead to the installation of a network of actors who work towards its promotion. This article aims to characterize the emergence of the production and innovation system of biofuel as well as the development trajectories observed. The innovation system approach is used as a framework for analyzing the development conditions of this innovation. The results point out that while biofuel production tests were conducted in the 1980s, the process of biofuel innovation only really emerged over the past five years. They underline a weak interaction between the actors but also a lack of knowledge of production techniques. A legislative and regulatory vacuum is observed in this sector. All these failures explain the still emerging situation of this biofuel innovation system.
