What is the potential for the biofuels industry in the U.S.?
Leaders are setting benchmarks that, if reached, would make a substantial impact. For one, the 25×25 energy goal (25% biofuels by 2025), set by national farm leaders, would have a markably positive effect on the U.S. economy. Studies estimate that producing enough ethanol to replace 25% of current gasoline use would add about $200 billion to the economy and create one million new jobs.
