Growing Energy: How Biofuels Can Help End America's Energy Dependence

J. Fiedler *

A coalition of researchers analyzed the technical and economic potential of cellulosic biofuels production, and the R&D and policies required to achieve this potential. The potential is significant and can be achieved in a way that achieves environmental benefits (assuming sufficient protections for air quality and other issues), provides new markets for farmers, and is complementary to existing corn ethanol operations.
