- 2014.11.22 - The fight over the Renewable Fuel Standard, explained - Vox "In recent years, gasoline refiners and biofuels producers have been fighting over how much ethanol US cars can safely handle. Refiners say we've reached the limit." "Refiners and automakers call this the "blend wall" and argue that cars will get damaged if we go above this limit (because ethanol is more corrosive). Biofuels producers, for their part, say there are ways around the wall — oil companies are just blocking them."
- 2014.10.27 - The new frontier in ethanol production - Yahoo7 Finance Australia "After a decade of research and development, ethanol maker Poet Inc and its Dutch partner Royal DSM recently produced the first cellulosic ethanol at a $US275 million ($A297.54 million) plant next to a cornfield in Emmetsburg, Iowa. Two other companies are completing new cellulosic ethanol plants in Iowa and Kansas. By 2015, they expect to be producing millions of gallons of the advanced biofuel. Yet the goal of producing ethanol from non-food sources faces a murky future. Wavering US policy on renewable fuels and the North American oil boom cast a shadow over the commercial triumph."
