After two years of analysis, University of Minnesota researchers have clarified how Minnesota might help the U.S. reach its energy goals.
The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates that the country use 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel per year by 2022, up from 16.55 billion
gallons in 2013.
The University researchers analyzed energy use predictions from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture, focusing on the expected production of
different biofuels.
