Renewable Fuel Standard: Potential Economic and Environmental Effects of U.S. Biofuel Policy - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
In the United States, we have come to depend on plentiful and inexpensive energy to support our economy and lifestyles. In recent years, many questions have been raised regarding the sustainability of our current pattern of high consumption of nonrenewable energy and its environmental consequences. Further, because the United States imports about 55 percent of the nation's consumption of crude oil, there are additional concerns about the security of supply. Hence, efforts are being made to find alternatives to our current pathway, including greater energy efficiency and use of energy sources that could lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as nuclear and renewable sources, including solar, wind, geothermal, and biofuels. The United States has a long history with biofuels and the nation is on a course charted to achieve a substantial increase in biofuels.
Renewable Fuel Standard evaluates the economic and environmental consequences of increasing biofuels production as a result of Renewable Fuels Standard, as amended by EISA (RFS2). The report 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 prices 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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A report by the National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, and Board on Energy and Environmental Systems, written for Congress as an independent look at what meeting the expanded Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) would cost the economy and the environment. The committee concludes that corn-grain ethanol capacity will reach the conventional target by 2022. The mandate for 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuel is unlikely to be met unless technology advances or policy changes. Cost comparisons across cellulosic feedstocks show that none is viable without incentives, even with oil at 111 dollars a barrel. The report expects only a small effect on food and land prices. It argues that RFS2 may do little to cut global greenhouse gas emissions, because direct and indirect land-use change matters so much. It also examines environmental tradeoffs, and an appendix covers the economics of petroleum fuels. Policy alternatives are offered without formal recommendations.
