Abstract

Renewable feedstocks can be used to produce fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, which are replacements for petroleum derived fuels. We show that switchgrass is not competitive in price compared with gasoline at current prices, and we identify challenges the biofuel industry must deal with to narrow the price gap with petroleum based fuels.
