This week, the Sierra Club and Worldwatch Institute released Smart Choices for Biofuels, a report highlighting the need for important policy reforms at this critical juncture in America’s effort to increase biofuel use. The report outlines the economic and environmental impacts of first-generation biofuels, particularly corn ethanol, and proposes strategies to make the industry more sustainable.

Smart Choices for Biofuels offers specific policy recommendations in four broad categories: developing sustainability standards; advancing biofuels production and new technologies; creating green jobs through biofuels; and promoting policy coherence across energy sectors.
