Researchers have published the results of a study aimed at identifying the amount of marginal land available worldwide for biofuel crop production. The goal of the study, conducted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was to determine the types and locations of land that are suitable for growing biofuel feedstocks and to identify the current land cover at those sites. The researchers concluded that biofuel produced from crops grown on abandoned or degraded cropland could supply up to 52 percent of the world's liquid fuel consumption. Read more...
