In a recent suggestion made by two federal government witnesses,
present distribution systems and engines can safely handle the alternatives
produced by next-generation transportation bio-fuels which are still under research.
Since the demand for gasoline has reduced considerably and Renewable Fuel
Standard has further signaled the asking rate of corn-based ethanol, this step
will definitely remove the blend wall which recently hit US. This was clearly
mentioned in the report submitted to Clean Air and Nuclear Safety Subcommittee
and US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Future progress in the
fuel industry is completely dependent on the research work and development of
advanced biofuels like cellulosic-based alternatives, http://www.ogj.com/articles/
From Steven Chalk, deputy assistant
secretary of DOE renewable power, bio-energy community and the Department of
Energy are emphasizing more on the development, demonstration and research
successes of cellulosic ethanol research so that algal ‘drop-in’ and cellulosic
biofuel technologies become capable of replacing all types of petro-based
diesel, jet fuel and gasoline. More and more investment, RD&D support from
different departments has paved the way to yearn for improved basic knowledge
about cellulosic ethanol development and production at universities and
national laboratories. It should be noted here that five bio-refineries for
commercial production of cellulosic ethanol are in progress.
