Background Despite growing global interest in decarbonizing energy, biofuels remain underutilized and poorly optimized. While their high energy density and compatibility with existing transportation infrastructure make them uniquely suited for rapid adoption, current biofuel production strategies are mired in inefficiency. Most rely on edible crops like corn, consuming arable land, exacerbating food insecurity, and depending … Read more
