As part of its biofuels research effort, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has supported a feedstock production program at Oak Ridge national laboratory (ORNL) for over 13 years. Short rotation woody and herbaceous plants are the primary energy crops being researched at DOE for transportation fuels production. These crops have multi-quad potential and could be of significant importance to U.S. farmers and the agricultural sector. The challenge in feedstock production research is to continue to increase yields and reduce costs while producing a technology for crop production that meets the highest standards of environmental acceptability. This feedstock overview specifically addresses some of the major program issues facing the feedstock production program. These include the food versus fuel, need for a stronger industry base, need to demonstrate advanced production and conversion technologies in an integrated fashion, and a number of environmental issues related to energy crop development.
