This concept is often called “additionality.” Field-to-Pump” maximizes rural development and job creation while minimizing feedstock supply risk, the burden on local water supplies, and the amount of energy necessary to process sugar into fuel ethanol. Validation requires additionality. what would have happened anyway).
