We found that converting biomass to electricity rather than ethanol makes the most sense for two policy-relevant issues, transportation and climate.” The optimal pathway for biomass will also depend on how efficiently other feedstocks can be converted to both liquid fuels and electricity.

The greatest challenge is the same as that which is plaguing the adoption of fuel cells in the automotive market—the buildout of low-cost green hydrogen infrastructure. Broader commitments to climate change are spurring some countries, like Norway and Holland, or companies, like Volvo, to set their own targets.

A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. Their analysis is published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives. F of warming.

If you ask a bunch of experts to predict the cost of a technology 10 years from now, they’re all over the map—9 out of 10 are wrong, and you don’t know which one is right. Solar panels convert solar radiation to power linearly, in proportion to the amount of sunlight. But wind turbines convert wind to power at the wind speed cubed.
