Biofuels
developed from plant biomass and purpose-grown crops can substantially move
California toward its ambitious energy goals, a new report says, but only
through the wise allocation of feedstocks and the success of energy efficiency
measures throughout the state.
That’s the conclusion of “California Energy Future: the Potential for Biofuels,” a report of the California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) co-authored by Energy Biosciences Institute scientists Heather Youngs and Chris Somerville. The study is one of seven produced by the CCST's California's Energy Future Committee, which was tasked with understanding how the state can meet aggressive reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions required by California policy by 2050.
