GrasstopiaCan USDA's Grasstopia plan succeed?

Analysts find holes to plug in the USDA Regional Roadmap for reaching RFS targets by 2022; where are algae, drop-in fuels, biobutanol, industry asks.


A few days have now passed since the USDA released its "Regional Roadmap," outlining a plan to meet the biofuels goals in the Renewable Fuels Standard by 2022.

Industry reaction has been, to date, tepid.

First of all - the good news, which is to say generally positive reaction to the idea that the USDA has undertaken a more detailed study of the target at all.

A general criticism is that the plan's weakness is that it could have been written in 2007, given that it focuses almost exclusively on cellulosic ethanol from energy grasses. Algae as a feedstock, biobutanol or drop-in fuels as products, were left out of the targets - though more than 50 percent of planned advanced biofuels production is in these forms.

Is there a disconnect - or does USDA have it generally right? More analysis of the tonnage per acre, proposed bioenergy size, and the economics of all the infrastructure for all the ethanol, at biofuelsdigest.com.

Opinion

Dan Mitchell, in Daily Bread: "Sure, the oil leak has made things a lot worse. But calling corn ethanol a superior alternative is like saying it's better to chew tobacco than it is to smoke cigarettes-marginally true, but beside the point, and disingenuous in the extreme."

In Denmark, Novozymes outlines the benefits of co-location and symbiosis in "Using Synergies to Save: Cellulosic Ethanol & Power Plant Co-Location," a special contribution to today's Digest. "Co-location of a cellulosic ethanol facility and a coal-fired power plant is one strategy that holds promise," writes Frances Williams of the Danish enzyme giant's staff. "Joining these industries in the same location can result in significant economic and environmental benefits for both, in the form of feedstock sharing, cost savings, and regulatory compliance."
