TLDR
The first generation of biofuels is presently produced from Sugars, starches, and vegetable oil, but a morepromising feedstock is lignocellulosic material, which is more abundant, has a lower cost, and is potentially more sustain-able.Abstract:
The first generation of biofuels is presently produced fromsugars, starches, and vegetable oil. Although instrumental indeveloping the market, these biofuels are not likely to deliverthe large volumes needed for the transport sector becausethey directly compete with food for their feedstock. A morepromising feedstock is lignocellulosic material, which is moreabundant, has a lower cost, and is potentially more sustain-able.read more
