Using System Dynamics to Model the Transition to Biofuels in the United States: Preprint

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Transitioning to a biofuels industry that is expected to displace about 30% of current U.S. gasoline consumption requires a robust biomass-to-biofuels system-of-systems that operates in concert with the existing markets. This paper discusses employing a system dynamics approach to investigate potential market penetration scenarios for cellulosic ethanol and to help government decision makersfocus on areas with greatest potential.
