New energy bill mandates vastly more ethanol than we produce now
December 20, 2007
The energy bill just signed into law by the President calls for the US to produce
21 billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol and
15 billion gallons of corn ethanol per year by 2022. That will require a huge increase in
ethanol production, considering that we currently only have the capacity to produce
6 billion gallons per year.
