Adding biomass to the coal in the CTL process (Coal and Biomass to Liquids, CBTL) can reduce the GHG emissions further, according to the study. The study used one feedstock of each type—bituminous coal and switchgrass—to evaluate the CTL/CBTL/BTL processes. Other coal and biomass feedstocks will be evaluated in a later study.

The report concludes, and Commissioner Wright emphasizes in an overview of the report, that if biofuels are to play a significant role in New Zealand’s energy future, then drop-in synthetic diesel made from wood is the pathway on which the country should concentrate. Some biofuels are good, some are bad, and some are probably downright ugly.
