✦ Synopsis

as wood, grasses, or the non-edible parts of crops, including wheat straw, soybean hulls, and corn cobs, are vast and diverse feedstocks compared to first-generation feedstocks like corn starch or sugarcane. In addition, cellulosic fuels promise to become the lowest-cost biofuel while at the same time provide large reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to petroleum-derived fuels. The current federal Renewable Fuel Standard requires that 36 M gallons of biofuels must be used in transportation fuel by 2022, including at least 21 bn gallons of advanced biofuels such as cellulosic biofuels. This creates a gigantic market for cellulosic biofuels.
