Ultimately, the authors suggest, states can encourage the reduction of fuel GHG emissions by developing policies, such as a low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), that encourage incremental improvements in corn ethanol in the short term and in the medium term by switching to cellulosic-derived fuels. Refiners are improving efficiency.
