THE NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE LIQUID FUEL AND THE PROMISE OF ADVANCED BIOFUELS

摘要

Liquid fuels are profoundly important to our society. Liquid fuels are the densest, safest, and most economical way to store energy for a myriad of uses. We rely on liquid fuel to harvest and distribute food. We rely on liquid fuels to transport goods and people. We rely on liquid fuels for emergency vehicles and backup electrical power as just a few examples of its importance. Fossil fuels and petroleum, in particular, are now criticized for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and dwindling reserves of crude oil.
