Increasing dependence on foreign sources of crude oil, concerns over global climate change have raised interest in renewable biofuels as an alternative to petroleum in the US transportation sector. This title reviews the evolution of the US biofuels sector and the role that federal policy plays in shaping its development.
Increasing dependence on foreign sources of crude oil, concerns over global climate change, and the desire to promote domestic rural economies have raised interest in renewable biofuels as an alternative to petroleum in the U.S. transportation sector. However, energy from renewable sources has historically been more expensive to produce and use than fossil-fuel based energy. U.S. policymakers have attempted to overcome this economic impediment by enacting an increasing number of policies since the late 1970s, at both the state and federal levels, to directly support U.S. biofuels production and use. This book reviews the evolution of the U.S. biofuels sector and the role that federal policy plays in shaping its development.
