Converting cellulosic biomass to liquid hydrocarbons
(gasoline, diesel and jet fuel) requires massive
external heat and hydrogen inputs.
Because crude oil provides almost half the energy
to the U.S. economy, replacing with cellulosic
biofuels using nuclear heat and hydrogen inputs
could become the largest single use of nuclear energy.
