    CP, nope not even the EU. Not a single country.

    Think of the manna from heaven Cdn oil companies and industry rec'd - ag for that matter too - with the last 2050 enviro plan. No matter what the cost of 2% or 5% RFS, it is a drop, nay, 1/10 of a drop in the bucket in terms of reduction of 35% GHG's. Even at a loss of a few cents per litre or 75% conversion efficiencies, not a burden compared to the alternative.

    Anyone hear of the new bakers yeast that improves ethanol production by a considerable amount?

    A snippet:

    That used to be the case, however, as the Kluyver Centre for Genomics of Industrial Fermentation has established a revolutionary breakthrough in this field. Genomics techniques, applied genetic engineering and laboratory evolution have enabled the development of a new strain of bakers’ yeast, which can swiftly and efficiently convert xylose into ethanol. Patent applications have already been submitted for the discovery. And the Kluyver Centre’s industrial partners – primarily Koninklijke Nedalco and BIRD Engineering – are currently adapting the process for large-scale industrial production.
