Update On Suriname -- RBN Energy -- February 13, 2025

Education: I'm no apologist for Department of Education but there's no way the US ranks #40 in a list of 40 top countries for education. Link here. I think you can get any number / any ranking you want. FactCheck.org here. 

Regardless of the ranking, there is much more to the story. Much more.

The peak of the bell-shaped curve may have peaked for the US some years ago, and may have actually moved to the left (bad) but does it really matter? I'm most interested in the top quartile or maybe even the top decile. And, to a great extent, I'm interested in the bottom quartile and the bottom decile.

Global warming: just three weeks in office, President Trump has crushed global warming! The Linton, ND, record had held for 55 years; Bismarck, ND, was a bit more stubborn.

RBN Energy: Cellulosic Biofuel industry rebounds with focus on biogas, heavy-duty trucking.

A primary objective of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) implemented in 2007 was to stimulate the production of at least 16 billion gallons/year of gasoline and diesel made from cellulosic biomass, or non-food crops and waste biomass like corn stalks, corncobs, straw, wood, wood byproducts and animal manure. But the vision of making gasoline from wood chips never materialized and today’s cellulosic biofuel is a whole different ballgame. In today’s RBN blog, we look at the evolution of cellulosic biofuels and the D3 Renewable Identification Number, aka the D3 RIN.
