Cellulosic biofuel technology will generate low-cost green fuel, says major study

Cellulosic **biofuels** offer similar, if not lower, costs and very large reductions in **greenhouse gas** emissions compared to petroleum-derived fuels. That’s one of the key take-home messages from a series of expert papers on “The Role of Biomass in America’s Energy Future (RBAEF)” in a special issue of **Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining**. The UK-based journal believes that the collection, which includes a comparative analysis of more than a dozen mature technology **biomass** refining scenarios, will make a major contribution to the ongoing debate on the future potential of biofuels.
