Abstract

Canadian ethanol production is currently derived from grain. Ethanol is criticized for displacing food production and not significantly reducing greenhouse gases. Second-generation ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks, such as fast-growing trees, are promoted as being more effective at reducing greenhouse gases without compromising food supplies. However, a second-generation ethanol industry may not be cost-effective with regard to greenhouse gas reduction. This study examines obstacles to a commercial second-generation ethanol industry, the potential for success, and the policy implications of promoting Canadian second-generation ethanol production.
