The first analysis set was a “stress test” case, in which biofuels were used to meet a business-as-usual (BAU) demand case of 44 billion gallons of gasoline equivalent (bgge), nearly double the 2005 demand. The near-term biofuel scenario uses cellulosic ethanol blended at 85% with fossil gasoline (E85) to meet the gasoline demand.
