Global Bioenergy Availability by Katie Daehn, Coleman, Evan, Allrogen, Florian

“…The use of biomass to produce readily substitutable (“drop-in”) and low-carbon liquid fuels presents a lever to reduce emissions along the lifecycle of the fuel. The potential to scale-up production of such fuels depends on establishing a robust supply chain for biogenic feedstocks and on building and operating cost-competitive, high-throughput biorefineries. …”
