Cropland expansion due for selected biofuel pathways.

Biofuel case which induces land use changes	Biofuel produced; (billion liters)	New cropland needed; (1000 ha.)	New cropland needed; (ha./1000 liters of biofuel)	New cropland needed; (ha./1000 liters of ethanol equivalent)
(a) Corn ethanol	43.873	2078	0.047	0.047
(c) Miscanthus biogasoline	17.791	319	0.018	0.012
(d) Switchgrass biogasoline	17.791	775	0.044	0.029
