Synthetic biology at the pump
|
|
|
Synthetic biology has the potential to transform global dependence on fossil fuels. It allows for the production of alternative fuels derived from living matter (referred to as “biofuels”). The R&D is still at an early stage, but when may we see mass production and adoption of biofuels, if ever? INFER’s new Synthetic Biology in the Energy Sector topic includes several questions that help signal the pace of broad consumer demand and adoption. We want to know what you think:
|
|
|
On 28 February 2023, how many states will be following the California emissions standard banning the sale of new emissions-producing vehicles by 2035?
|
|
|
|
What percentage of the U.S.’s renewable energy consumption will come from biofuels in 2023?
