The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), of Washington, D.C., just released a brief fact sheet about the potential availability of food and crop wastes as feedstocks for biofuels.
While the fact sheet wasn’t meant as a comprehensive assessment, the EESI suggests further research is needed to understand and quantify the full potential of unutilized agricultural production and food wastes, particularly in light of the fact that composting firms, feed manufacturers, and other facilities currently use some of this material to produce biofuels.
