Ive heard that there will be new biofuels made from agricultural waste materials and from non-food crops, and that these will be available soon. Why don we just wait for those?
Advanced biofuels made from agricultural waste and from non food crops generally known as 2nd generation biofuels may offer a long-term solution to the world’s needs for renewable fuels; however, they cannot yet be produced sustainably on a large-scale commercial basis. Huge investment and research is required before this can be achieved. Current generation biofuels will establish a crucial infrastructure and industry. Without a working market for current biofuels it will be all but impossible for these advanced technologies to become commercially viable.
