The Minnesota Project released a study titled “Transportation Biofuels in the United States: An Update,” which details the progress made in cellulosic ethanol and corn ethanol research, and discusses biofuels generally. The study focuses on four main cellulosic feedstocks, including: corn stover, miscanthus, switchgrass and wood. –mj: I haven’t read the report, but the summary in Ethanol Producer Magazine indicates they conclude indirect land use in important to consider, but I don’t think they realize how imaginary the estimates are.
