Our findings are significant for the future biofuel industry, and the ultimate goal is to make poplar coppice biofuel a step closer to the pump. We have the environmental incentives to produce fuels and chemicals from renewable resources, but right now, they aren’t enough to compete with low oil prices. That’s the problem.

Because cellulosic biofuel is a developing industry, there are multiple economic, policy, environmental, and social barriers to producing 16-20 billion gallons of ethanol-equivalent cellulosic biofuels to meet the consumption mandate of RFS2. Such land conversion may disrupt any future potential for storing carbon in biomass and soil.
