Indeed, biofuels aren't really a stretch — humans have been using microorganisms to ferment plants into ethanol ever since Stone Age people began making beer around 10,000 B.C. Today's work hinges on engineering a perfect microbe that will eat the entirety of a plant, retain only a little of this food for itself and spew out the rest as a high - energy fuel.
But the research suggests that even if researchers maximized the capacity to grow biofuels on all marginal lands, «the amount of cellulosic ethanol it could produce is only enough to provide 1.5 percent of U.S. transportation fuel by 2020.»

The only issue I see with ethanol is that it depends somewhat on crop growth, and fossil fuels are used heavily to make modern fertilizer.
Similarly, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued a report on the subject in June 2014, finding «only limited potential» for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through use of corn - based ethanol in the future:
E85 can only be used in flex fuel vehicles (FFVs) which are specifically designed to run on this fuel or any gasoline or ethanol blend ranging from E0 to E85.
Fast - growing sugarcane on highly fertile land in Brazil, for example, converts only around 0.5 percent of incoming solar radiation into sugar, and only around 0.2 percent ultimately into ethanol.

Practically speaking, one would probably use for ethanol production only a little over half of the soil bank lands and add to this some portion of the plants now grown as animal feed crops (for example, on the 70 million acres that now grow soybeans for animal feed).
The EPA claims that ethanol, a fuel made from corn, has only a minimal impact on food prices.
The Ethanol market is over-subsidized at this point, which is the only reason it makes economic sense on the surface.
