Despite large-scale investments and government mandates to expand biofuels development and infrastructure in the United States, little is known about how the public conceives of this alternative fuel

• The Noble Quest: Navigating Toward Sustainable Transportation (2023) · doi

  Despite our noble quest to adopt more sustainable transportation, and despite countless innovations and improvements, the results are inadequate; carbon reduction is insufficient to curtail our growth trajectory, much less achieve the aggressive zero emission targets set by companies and governments.

• The need for biofuels as part of a low carbon energy future (2015) · doi

  Acknowledging the significant uncertainties involved in such projections and the challenges faced by all candidate technologies and fuels, we conclude that it will likely be difficult to achieve a low‐carbon transport sector without widespread use of biofuels, and that aggressive efforts to develop sustainable, low‐carbon biofuels alongside other options are warranted.

• Public attitudes toward biofuels: Effects of knowledge, political partisanship, and media use (2012) · doi

  Despite large-scale investments and government mandates to expand biofuels development and infrastructure in the United States, little is known about how the public conceives of this alternative fuel technology.

• Carbon emission and ethanol markets: evidence from Brazil (2018) · doi

  Although biofuels have been brought into the energy markets to reduce the volume of carbon emissions, the links between ethanol and carbon emission markets have not been explored sufficiently in the existing literature.
