Ethanol can also be made from grasses, trees, and agricultural and forestry residues. 2For details, see figure S1 (figures S1{\textendash}S4 are available online). 3The history of US corn ethanol development, production, and policy support dates back to the 1970s. In recent years, its production as an oxygenate for gasoline, replacing methyl tertiary butyl ether, which was phased out because of environmental concerns, has grown. Additionally, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, followed by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, established the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the RFS II, respectively. The latter set ambitious volumetric targets for various types of",
