Second-generation fuels, such as cellulosic ethanol and algae-biodiesel, and biofuels utilizing non-food feedstock crops, such as jatropha and switchgrass, are not expected to offer a viable, large-scale alternative to contemporary feedstocks until the 2020s or later.
“Furthermore, second-generation fuels, such as cellulosicethanol and algae-biodiesel, and biofuels utilizing non-food feedstock crops, such as jatropha and switchgrass, are not expected to offer a viable, large-scale alternative to contemporary feedstocks until the 2020s or later (IPCC 2007, Himmel 2007, Fairless 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
