MIT study concludes that absent climate policy, coal-to-liquids could account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050

A new assessment of the viability of coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology by researchers from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change (JPSPGC) found that without climate policy, CTL has the potential to account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050. —Chen et al.

The ability to economically and easily break cellulose into sugars is desirable because the sugars can be used to create fuel alternatives. Not only are the fibers incredibly strong, but they are incredibly resistant to the action of enzymes (cellulases) that can crack the fibers back into their simple-sugar components. 2008.12.3953.
