This paper summarizes an approach to crop selection and development that has evolved through the five years of species screening and selection in the US Department of Energy's Herbaceous Energy Crops Program. The first phase of this program was designed to identify a number of species for development as energy crops for the Southeast and Midwest/Lake States, specifically as feedstocks for the biochemical and thermochemical conversion processes for alcohol fuels now under development. 14 refs., 1 tab.
