{"product_id":"9781621004417","title":"Biofuel Use in the U.S.","description":"Achieving greater energy security by reducing dependence on foreign petroleum is a goal of U.S. energy policy. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) calls for a Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS-2), which mandates that the United States increase the volume of biofuel that is blended into transportation fuel from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Long-term technological advances are needed to meet this mandate. This book examines how meeting the RFS-2 would affect various key components of the U.S. economy. If biofuel production advances with cost-reducing technology and petroleum prices continue to rise as projected, the RFS-2 could provide economy-wide benefits. However, the actual level of benefits to the U.S. economy depends importantly on future oil prices and whether tax credits are retained in 2022.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers, Inc (US)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65429942796637,"sku":null,"price":106.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781621004417.jpg?v=1789225365","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781621004417","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
