UNEP Report Calls for More Sophisticated Approach to Developing Biofuels; Limitations of Current LCA Studies 
Green Car Congress | by Mike Millikin | Tue, Oct 20
Green Car Congress is the #1 Blogger for Biomass
—“Assessing Biofuels”

Mike Millikin from Green Car Congress says
(in SCOPE Biofuels Project Releases Assessment on Environmental Effects of Biofuel Technologies)
Increasing evidence suggests that biomass can be used much more efficiently (and therefore with less environmental impact) through direct combustion to generate electricity and heat, rather than being converted to liquid fuels such as ethanol.
