WAHINGOTN — An update to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Billion Ton Study first conducted in 2005 reaffirms the belief that the U.S. possesses ample biomass resources (grasses, ag wastes, wood wastes, energy crops, etc.) to more than meet national goals to replace increasing volumes of oil and other fossil fuels, according to the Advanced Ethanol Council.
The AEC noted that the 2010 Billion Ton Study update states that under its baseline scenario, sufficient volumes of biomass feedstocks would be available for conversion into ethanol and other biofuels and capable of meeting the goals of the Renewable Fuels Standard. . .
