Why is America falling short on its renewable energy goals where liquid fuels are concerned? It’s not a money issue. It’s a technology problem. One that mixed alcohol fuel can address, but not until an enterprising company produces enough volume to matter. Leading biofuel companies such as Range Fuels certainly aren’t getting the job done.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has again cut already greatly reduced expectations for cellulosic biofuels production in its 2011 renewables mandates, according to a letter from the head of the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Earlier in 2010, EPA dropped the cellulosic target in its renewable fuel mandates by 93% to 6.5 million gallons as companies failed to bring production capacity online. The 2011 production estimate has dropped even further.
