Developing Lcfs For Biofuels: Getting It Right For Corn Ethanol, Kenneth Cassman, Adam Liska
Developing Lcfs For Biofuels: Getting It Right For Corn Ethanol, Kenneth Cassman, Adam Liska
Adam Liska Papers
• Corn ethanol will be first to test the newly developed LCFS assessment methods; substantial amounts of other biofuels will come several years later
• Accurate valuation of direct-effect GHG emissions from corn ethanol is the foundation of the LCFS process; these affects vary with ethanol biorefinery type and corn feedstock supply
• Different reference GHG emissions values are needed for each major class of ethanol plants
• The BESS model provides the most up-to-date, scientifically sound estimate of corn-ethanol GHG emissions; can BESS and GREET reach agreement?
• Certification and compliance tools are also needed
