Purdue to lead second-generation biofuels impact analysis

Source : ethanolproducer.com

Purdue University has been awarded a $933'000 USDA grant to conduct analysis of the global impacts of second-generation biofuels. According to Tom Hertel, ag economics professor at Purdue University and project co-investigator, the team’s research will be a continuation of previous work conducted policy alternatives and global land use impacts of first-generation biofuels. "Our work on first-generation biofuels was quite controversial", he said. "We were too small on some numbers for the environmentalists and too big for the industry, so we probably got it about right. [But] it’s important that we bring the best science to the question and that’s our goal here." The two-year project, titled "Analysis of the Global Impacts of Second Generation Biofuels in the Context of Other Energy Technologies and Alternative Economic and Climate Change Policy Options", will be jointly conducted by Purdue, the University of Illinois and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
