Description
Biofuel policy has forced unanticipated, but useful, lessons. Indirect land use change, the climate effect of different time profiles of releasing greenhouse gas, and the uncertainty associated with global warming indices of fuels have required rethinking of programs that looked simple when first conceived. Can a life cycle assessment be performed for any substance, or must it be applicable to a policy? What is the meaning of risk management in programs like RFS and LCFS?
