Synopsis

Liquid transportation fuels have always been critical to economic development. We have come to depend on plentiful and inexpensive energy to support our economy and lifestyles. However, volatile oil prices and abrupt changes in global climate have led to concerns about energy security and greenhouse gas emissions from using fossil fuels. Renewable Fuel Standard discusses the possible outcome of increasing biofuels production to meet the biofuel consumption mandated by the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2), as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA). The book describes biofuels produced in 2010 and those projected to be produced and consumed by 2022, reviews model projections and other estimates of the relative impact on the price of land, and discusses the potential environmental harm and benefits of biofuels production and the barriers to achieving the RFS2 consumption mandate. Policy makers, investors, leaders in the transportation sector, and others with concerns for the environment, economy, and energy security can rely on the recommendations provided in this report.
