The report also noted that the storage and use of certain ethanol blends may pose other environmental problems, such as leaks in underground storage tanks and increased emissions of certain air pollutants. Federal tax credits, the RFS, and the ethanol tariff have primarily supported conventional corn starch ethanol.

As of 2010, biofuel production was contingent on subsidies, tax credits, the import tariff, loan guarantees, RFS2, and similar policies. Currently, no commercially viable biorefineries exist for converting cellulosic biomass to fuel. This could create competition among different land uses and, in turn, raise cropland prices.
