National Research Council report finds it unlikely the US will meet cellulosic biofuel mandates absent major innovation or a change in policies

Green Car Congress

A key barrier to achieving RFS2 is the high cost of producing biofuels compared to petroleum-based fuels and the large capital investments required to put billions of gallons of production capacity in place. As of 2010, biofuel production was contingent on subsidies, tax credits, the import tariff, loan guarantees, RFS2, and similar policies.

High entry costs may exist for new technologies, and therefore lead to high cost of switching to these new technologies for users. Significant technical entry barriers also exist on the supply side, in particular for battery manufacturers. Many barriers to entry and competition are of a technical nature, Beltramello notes.
