The other regions that we examined exhibited smaller increases in NO 2 pollution with population, reflecting a combination of emission controls and per capita fuel use. The value of the exponent varies by region from 0.36 for India to 0.66

In the absence of major technological innovations or policy changes, the United States is unlikely to meet cellulosic biofuel mandates under the current Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) by 2022, according to a new report from the National Research Council. However, whether and how the mandate for cellulosic biofuels will be met is uncertain.
