Today in Biofuels Opinion: “Everybody talks about the next generation – what is the next generation?”

American Biofuels Council Executive Director Sean O’Hanlon: “China see the renewable energy industry as the next big driver of economic growth. Obama needs to do the same.”

Mary Rosenthal, executive director of the Algal Biomass Organization: “We appreciate and support the interest in algae among the scientific community, and agree that examination of the life cycle impacts of algae for fuel processes is important. However, we expect such research to be based on current information, valid assumptions and proven facts. Unfortunately, this report falls short of those standards with its use of decades old data and errant assumptions of current production and refining technologies.”

Andres Clarens, author of the controversial UVA study, replies: “Everybody talks about the next generation – what is the next generation? I’d be happy to model it if somebody produces it.”
