News

  • The race for nonfood biofuel, 4 June 2008 by the Christian Science Monitor: "A big step [toward the production of cellulosic biofuels] came last week with the opening of the nation’s first ­demonstration-scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Jennings, La. The facility, built by Cambridge, Mass.-based Verenium Corp., will use high-tech enzymes to make 1.4 million gallons per year of ethanol from the cellulose in sugar cane bagasse, a waste product."

Issues

  • Alternative renewable fuel usage mandate
    • According to Allegro Biodiesel, this mandate is to come into effect six months after "the month in which annualized production of alternative renewable fuels (e.g., biodiesel) in Louisiana equals or exceeds 10 million gallons."[2]
      • "The mandate requires that 2% of total diesel fuel sold in the state be an alternative renewable fuel. Fulfilling the 2% mandate will require approximately 15 million gallons of biodiesel or alternative diesel fuel annually, based on the state’s aggregate use of approximately 760 million gallons of diesel in 2005."[3]
