Alternative Fuels for Transportation
3. Some second-generation biofuels that are derived from feedstocks
with a low energy density may face logistical issues and land use
efficiency questions and these may present as big a barrier to their
uptake as the development of the core technology.
However, these drawbacks can be overcome with policies and the development of economical production methods.
