Biotechnology Industry Organization Reports on “Achieving Sustainable Production of Agricultural Biomass for Biorefinery Feedstock”
April 12, 2007http://www.bio.org/ind/biofuel/SustainableBiomassReport.pdf
|
The Biotechnology Industry Organization lists some policy recommendations in order to achieve the sustainable production of cellulosic biomass for biofuel production. Some of the recommendations are: (1) development and distribution of simple-to-use soil carbon models to allow farmers to compute how much crop residue can be collected without degrading soil quality; (2) funding for demonstration projects to streamline collection, transport and storage of cellulosic crop residue feedstocks, (3) development of a system to monetize greenhouse gas credits generated by production of ethanol and other products from agricultural feedstocks, (4) funding for programs to help farmers identify and grow the most suitable crops for both food production and cellulosic biomass production..
