  title = {Lifecycle greenhouse gas footprint and minimum selling price of renewable diesel and jet fuel from fermentation and advanced fermentation production technologies},
  abstract = {Fermentation and advanced fermentation ({AF}) biofuel production technologies may offer a means to reduce the greenhouse gas ({GHG}) intensity of transportation by providing renewable drop-in alternatives to conventional middle distillate ({MD}) fuels, including diesel and jet fuel. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first peer-reviewed study of the environmental and economic feasibility of {AF} technologies. We find that the attributional lifecycle {GHG} footprint of {AF} {MD} from sugar cane, corn grain and switchgrass ranges from -27.0 to 19.7, 47.5 to 117.5, and 11.7 to 89.8 {gCO}2e/{MJMD}, respectively, compared to 90.0 {gCO}2e/{MJMD} for conventional {MD}. These results are most sensitive to the co-product allocation method used, the efficiency and utility requirements of feedstock-to-fuel conversion, and the co-generation technology employed. We also calculate the minimum selling price ({MSP}) of {MD} fuel produced from sugar cane, corn grain and switchgrass {AF} as a range from 0.61 to 2.63, 0.84 to 3.65, and 1.09 to 6.30 \$/liter, respectively, compared to the current price of conventional {MD} in the United States of approximately 0.80 \$/liter. The {MSP} results are most sensitive to feedstock-to-fuel conversion efficiency, feedstock costs, and capital costs. Finally, we demonstrate that emissions from land use change ({LUC}) directly attributable to the growth of biomass for {AF} fuel could dominate the {GHG} footprint of {AF} {MD} fuels.},
