The UW team is the first to try converting the entire young tree—leaves, bark and stems—into bio oil and ethanol using two separate processes. Our research proved that poplar coppice can be a good option to meet the cheap, high-volume criteria of biofuel feedstock. Chang Dou/University of Washington. Click to enlarge.

In addition, it is subject to similar refining, storage and distribution costs currently associated with petrol and diesel, including upstream CO2 emissions where the electricity required is usually generated from fossil fuels. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.
