Biotech Biofuels: How Patents May Save Biofuels And Create Empires, Adam Wolek
Biotech Biofuels: How Patents May Save Biofuels And Create Empires, Adam Wolek
Chicago-Kent Law Review
The United States' primary transportation energy sources are fossil fuels, namely, gasoline and diesel. These products have high environmental, security, and financial costs. A strong emphasis has been placed on biofuels, especially ethanol and biodiesel, to lessen reliance on fossil fuels. Historically, high production costs, lack of infrastructure, return on investment anxieties, and concerns about scaling-up production have slowed the development of these alternative technologies. Today, biotechnological solutions are lowering productions costs and making large scale production more economically feasible. Patents can lessen anxieties about investment as they can provide longer-term protection and market exclusivity for patented technologies. As biofuels …
Green Diesel: Finding A Place For Algae Oil, Fred Bosselman
Green Diesel: Finding A Place For Algae Oil, Fred Bosselman
Chicago-Kent Law Review
The prospect of obtaining domestically-produced biodiesel from algae has attracted wide investor interest. Although many analysts predict that economic production is five to ten years away, the production process involves such a wide range of environmental and land use issues that it is not premature to begin thinking about the kinds of places in which "green biodiesel" could be efficiently made in the United States. Our land use and environmental laws were all drafted by people who never imagined the possibility that huge volumes of algae would be an important energy resource; nor could they have known that the location …
Striving For Greenhouse Gas Mitigation In Pennsylvania : How Law And Biodiesel Can Play A Part, Jon W. Johnson
Striving For Greenhouse Gas Mitigation In Pennsylvania : How Law And Biodiesel Can Play A Part, Jon W. Johnson
Jon W Johnson
An analytical review of federal and Pennsylvania law and its possible use to mitigate greenhouse gases through state legislation. Additional review is conducted to determine the feasibility of using biodiesel as a fuel to help reduce GHGs from Diesel powered equipment including heavy weight trucks. Proposed Legislation would require the mandatory implementation of Biodiesel in the Commonwealth at levels much higher than ever will be achieved under current law. Additionally, recommendations to impose strict regulations on manufactures of diesel type equipment to allow such use of high concentration of Biodiesel fuel in equipment without voiding existing or new warranties. Lastly, …

Algae And Biodiesel: Patenting Energized As Green Goes Commercial, Matthew R. Priess, Stanley P. Kowalski
Algae And Biodiesel: Patenting Energized As Green Goes Commercial, Matthew R. Priess, Stanley P. Kowalski
Law Faculty Scholarship
In the twenty-first century, predominant dependence on fossil fuels as energy resources will not be sustainable. Developing and commercializing green energy innovations will be an essential component of the transition to a more diversified energy economy. Algal biodiesel is one of the most promising green fuels because of its potential as a renewable and sustainable fuel source without displacing food crops. Algal biodiesel research and development are necessary early steps towards a transition to a green energy economy. The strategic use of strong patent portfolios will drive this by attracting investment, incentivizing innovation and accelerating commercialization. Whereas algal biodiesel research …

A Brief History Of Brazilian Biofuels Legislation, Juscelino F. Colares
A Brief History Of Brazilian Biofuels Legislation, Juscelino F. Colares
Faculty Publications
Due to concerns with global climate change, Brazil's long and diversified experience with biofuels has captured the attention of policymakers worldwide. Yet, little is known about the history and scale of the Brazilian biofuels program in the United States. This comment provides an introduction to the history of Brazil's biofuels program and refers to the basic statutes that set it in place. Due to the unavailability of these enactments in English, an appendix provides the relevant portions of these statutes both in Portuguese and in the author's English translation.
A Strategy For Developing Stationary Biodiesel Generation, Karl R. Rábago
A Strategy For Developing Stationary Biodiesel Generation, Karl R. Rábago
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This paper discusses the drivers of change in the electricity system and the opportunities presented for biodiesel electric generation in this context. This paper also introduces the primary issues facing increased utilization of biodiesel—both those that challenge increased use of the fuel and those that support this use. Finally, the paper presents key elements of a strategy for realizing the potential of an electric generation infrastructure that incorporates more distributed biodiesel generation in the near term and even more distributed energy resources over the longer term.
