-
The move blocked the EPA from calculating a biofuel's worldwide carbon footprint due to land use changes when determining its eligibility for federal subsidies.
-
It has a much higher NEB or "net energy balance" than ethanol from either corn or sugar cane (NEB is the ratio of the biofuel's energy output to the energy input required to produce it).

-
If that production takes place on land formerly in non-agricultural uses, stored carbon is presumably released into the atmosphere from the land conversion and added to the biofuel's carbon intensity score.

-
Now, the Environmental Protection Agency has indicated it plans to measure each biofuel's emissions based partly on the ripple effect that its production in the U.S. can have overseas, and is preparing to seek comments on a proposal.

-
PLEITGEN: But Germany says it's not the end of the country's biofuel's blending and that there are environmental benefits.

And while the higher grain prices have cut into biofuel's profitability, it has prompted farmers to plant more acreage, which means more grain to handle and ship across the Corn Belt and overseas.
-
Though the Defense Department has said using more renewable energy will reduce the need for fuel convoys in the battle zone, RAND questions biofuel's role in that effort, saying that any alternative fuels -- either with biofuel blends or coal-to-liquid technology -- would still require those fuel convoys or compound logistical challenges on the front lines.

The great contribution of Francisco Angulo's patents, this is why its incalculable economic value, is exactly that this principle is used to the biofuel's production and comes from the carbon of any organic waste.
