NREL report estimates gasoline produced from biomass could cost about the same as ethanol

Green Car Congress

PNNL’s report utilizes and references proven states of technology. The basis for this study was a stand-alone gasification/synthesis process including sub-processes or unit operations for integrated tar reforming, acid gas scrubbing, and synthesis to methanol followed by conversion to gasoline.
