Researchers Say Growth of Cellulosic Biofuel Industry Hurt by GMO Regulations

Green Car Congress

It’s extraordinary that gene modification technology, which has been adapted more rapidly than any other technology in the history of agriculture, and had some profound environmental and economic benefits, has been regulated virtually out of existence for perennial cellulosic biofuels crops.

Navigant Research forecasts new EV global sales of > 346,000 units in 2014; 10 predictions for the year

Green Car Congress

North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific will continue to drive PEV sales, as the technology will have only limited availability in the emerging markets of Latin America and Africa. The ICE is also likely to get efficiency improvements from electric oil and water pumps. By 2022, not even California will meet the 10% ZEV requirement.
