Regulating the indirect land use carbon emissions imposes high hidden costs on fuel

(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) Biofuel policies like the Low-Carbon Fuel Standard in California are trying to minimize the indirect land use change related emissions by accounting for the indirect land use change factor as part of the carbon emissions per gallon of biofuels. A University of Illinois study examines the costs and benefits of using this approach at a national level.
