For context, the perennial problem in designing novel chemical materials, like new biofuels or energy storage materials for batteries, is one of scale. To illustrate this, let’s consider designing a novel biofuel blend to replace diesel. 2011): 1239-1249. Hughes, James P., “Principles of early drug discovery.”

Meanwhile, annual reports show corporations are pushing ahead with plans to expand production, betting on new technologies to somehow make it all okay in the future. Further, these efforts are focused on carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biofuels—technologies that aim to stash carbon emissions away, not reduce their production.

Minnesota Federal Court Said State Biofuel Mandate Was Not Preempted. CBD said that even if rehearing were not granted, the court should modify its “overbroad” conclusion that EPA’s Guidance for Determining Best Available Control Technology for Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Bioenergy Production (Bioenergy BACT Guidance) was rational.

Rather, they resulted in low-wage service sector jobs, greater dependence on imported Chinese technologies, and higher energy costs. And over the last decade, the technology used in the vast majority of installed solar panels has only become 2-3 percent more efficient. The problem with renewables is physical.
