http://www.newrules.org/de/archives/000115.htmlWith a stroke of the pen, Gov. Schwarzenegger signed an executive order (S-06-06) that establishes in-state production goals for ethanol - from 5 percent today to 75 percent by 2050. The order also requires in-state biomass electricity to meet 20 percent of the state's renewable energy requirements in the coming years.
California currently uses more than 900 million gallons of ethanol annually, but only 5 percent is produced in the state. According to the executive order, the new goals are to produce 20 percent of the state's biofuels within the state by 2010, increasing to 40 percent by 2020 and 75 percent by 2050.

The new biomass electricity goals will require approximately 1,450 MW of new biomass capacity by 2020. The CEC assumes that 350 MW of landfill gas and biogas projects and 1,100 MW of solid biomass capacity will be installed by 2020 to meet this goal.
