Including biofuels under a cap-and-trade scheme could create a more complete carbon management framework for the transportation fuels sector, according to a new peer-reviewed discussion paper by Dr. John DeCicco. Thus, the carbon accounting system under a fossil-based cap alone is incomplete when it comes to biofuels.”.
