E Renton Righelato, visiting research fellow at the
University of Reading and former chairman of the
World Land Trust, agrees. 'Given that it would take
the world's entire supply of arable land to replace
just two-thirds of our transport fuel needs,' he says,
"biofuels are not a practicable long-term solution for
transportation emissions. What we need is carbon-
free fuel. But in the case of abandoned croplands,
using grasses as biofuels could make a contribution,'
he adds. Study co-author Adam Wolf, of the Carnegie
Institution for Science at Stanford University, cites a
study by Elliott Campbell in Science magazine that
showed that burning grasses in a coal-fuelled plant
doubles the savings in carbon emissions compared to
using the same grasses to make ethanol. 'If biofuels
are going to reduce emissions, using abandoned
croplands to make electricity and offset coal use is our
best bet,' he says. 'Both of these countries have coal-
fuelled power plants, so the process could start soon.'
Thus, Russia and Kazakhstan are now in a position
to become leaders in green energy, and could use the
grasses to export clean electricity in addition to oil and
gas, according to Mr Wolf.
