In Case 2, where there is less willingness to convert land, the economics of biofuels would be favorable sooner. RFA strongly agrees with the authors that natural ecosystems with high carbon storage—such as rainforest, peat soils, and other native lands—absolutely should not be converted to produce biofuel feedstocks.
