Volume 1 is the initial volume in a multi-volume series. The Series is designed to provide information dealing with all aspects of the transition to an alcohol fuels economy. Volume 1 covers the issues addressed in assorted position papers and related background information prepared by several federal agencies. Primary emphasis is on issues relating to the production of ethanol and the utilization of gasohol, with some attention given to methanol-based fuels. Volume 1 draws together, in a fully-indexed compilation, seven documents prepared by four different government agencies; Congressional Research Service (Library of Congress); Office of Technology Assessment; U.S. Department of Agriculture; and U.S. Department of Energy. The reports deal with such major issues as fuel mix; feedstock availability; production costs; economic, environmental and societal impacts. Three reports in the volume were prepared by the Department of Energy: (1) Report of the Alcohol Fuels Policy Review; (2) Alcohol Fuels Program Plan; and (3) Position Paper on Alcohol Fuels. Gasohol; The Alcohol Fuels Issue Brief was issued by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. Gasohol: A Technical Memorandum was prepared by the Office of Technology Assessment; and two documents, (1) Gasohol From Grain: The Economic Issues, and (2) Will Gasohol Help Power America., were originally published by the Department of Agriculture. The compilation provides an accurate assessment of the status of alcohol fuels based on data available at the end of 1979. (Copyright (c) 1980 by Solar Energy Information Services (SEIS).)
