That's the essential promise of CBP — by having a magic bug that will extract sugars from biomass, and at the same time ferment those sugars into ethanol, you have a smaller, more consolidated design — compared to systems that have hydrolysis, and then move the sugary broth to a fermenter system to convert into ethanol.

Plan 4 is the sneaky plan to increase the ethanol content of gasoline to the point where it will destroy many old cars and force people into buying new cars that the EPA considers green, such as the Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, or at the very least, more fuel - efficient gasoline powered cars that pollute less and will run on E15.

It's now all but certain that the ethanol tax credit will expire at the end of the year, and the ethanol producers continue to claim credit for «giving it up» despite that it was obviously lost due to larger political considerations, and the fact that they lobbied initially for its extension and then eventually for a substitute which would have still funneled money into their industry.

They're fair salivating at the thought of finding the next big thing to pour all that central bankers» funny money into, now they've lost interest in the other outlets for it all (barring commodities of course) What they don't use to speculate in permits like taxi plates, they'll pour into places like ET to grow ethanol and claim more brownie points to boot.

Almost all of these projects differ from the ethanol being blended into the US gasoline supply in that they are made from inedible feedstocks, which sidesteps one of the critiques often leveled at biofuels: that they compete in with crops raised for people or livestock, driving up food prices.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering scaling back legal requirements on the use of ethanol next year amid complaints from refiners that statutory mandates would exceed their ability to blend it into fuels without putting engines at risk.

The history of the RFS is that EPA's enthusiasm for the program has seen the agency mandate ever - increasing volumes of ethanol in the fuel supply, potentially putting consumers at risk by pushing fuels into the marketplace that could damage the engines of vehicles, motorcycles, boats and small power equipment.

I will take a look at your link before I finish, but the more I look into ethanol the worse it is for the environment and the economy.

The corn - to - ethanol subsidy in the USA was not aimed at reducing GHG emissions, or even its ostensible purpose of reducing dependence on foreign oil, but at raising the price of corn to put money into farmers» pockets.

Land Use Change Emissions Push Corn Ethanol Past Baseline It's the inclusion of a penalty for these indirect land use changes into the overall carbon intensity of a particular fuel that has caused controversy: Corn ethanol is already above the baseline at 97 grams of carbon per megajoule, due to a 30 gram penalty assessed for land use cEthanol Past Baseline It's the inclusion of a penalty for these indirect land use changes into the overall carbon intensity of a particular fuel that has caused controversy: Corn ethanol is already above the baseline at 97 grams of carbon per megajoule, due to a 30 gram penalty assessed for land use cethanol is already above the baseline at 97 grams of carbon per megajoule, due to a 30 gram penalty assessed for land use changes.

Industrial Agriculture's Negative Effects The report didn't go into wider - ranging effects of the industrial agriculture dominant in the US, such as loss of biodiversity, fertilizer run - off, etc. (and whether industrial agriculture is really the best method of raising food, the UN doesn't think so, and I suppose that's all a bit beyond the research brief here) but at least corn ethanol fares a bit better in this study than in previous estimates.

However, two recent papers published in Science, including the one we discussed in our post, have pointed out that when you take into account land use changes, the global warming pollution benefit of corn ethanol is negligible or not a benefit at all but a negative (researcher Joseph Fargione's team found that most biofuels «create a «biofuel carbon debt» by releasing 17 to 420 times more CO2 than the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that these biofuels would provide by displacing fossil fuels.»)
