Biomass Engineering per 2008

adjunct of Simmons (2008)

At Sandia National Labs

...Fuels within the transport sector in the United States is
growing, especially in the light of concerns over energy
security and global warming. The US federal government, as
well as most governments worldwide, is strongly committed
to displacing fossil fuels with renewable, potentially low
carbon, biofuels produced from biomass. The primary
motivation for these efforts is both to decrease reliance on
fossil fuels, particularly imported fuels [1,2], and to address
concerns over the contribution of fossil-fuel consumption by
the transport sector to global warming [3,4]. The US federal
government has therefore set a target of displacing 30% of
current US gasoline (petrol and diesel) consumption within
the transportation sector with biofuels by 2030...

In 2008 based on natural resources of food and oxygen stores our energy potential was 1.4*10^8 dry tonnes per year--
