However, while Canadian biofuel mandates have been largely uncontroversial, US biofuels mandates have been subject to considerable controversy. To explain this cross-national difference, the article examines media coverage of advanced biofuels in American and Canadian newspapers over 2010-2016 and developments with respect to the implementation of advanced biofuel mandates. It finds that while the two countries share commonalities in media frames of advanced biofuels, the overall tone of coverage in the US is much more negative than in Canada. The negative and positive media coverage parallel policy developments in the two countries, suggesting their interactive effects in stabilizing or destabilizing biofuel policies.
