#Biofuels environmental impact now easy to evaluate #Green #Energy

Biofuels made from renewable resources in the environment, such as switch grass, could help mitigate the greenhouse effect, but by how much. These researchers now claim that can tell you. Look for the critical evaluation of biofuels to compete with the all-electric car over the next decade. R.C.J.


Here's what the researchers say about their work: "Study Paves Way For New Biofuels Models, Technologies"--Biofuels hold promise as environmentally friendly sources of renewable energy, but which ones should industry and policy leaders focus their efforts on developing? A new study involving researchers from North Carolina State University offers detailed insights into how biofuel chemicals react when burned. Their data and new computer models pave the way for development of new biofuels and technologies to maximize energy efficiency while minimizing environmental and human health risks.
