The Department of Energy's Herbaceous Energy Crops Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is beginning its research on lignocellulosic energy crops with five studies in the Southeast and Midwest/Lakes regions. Early objectives for these studies include selecting species that show promise on marginal croplands typical of the regions, determining productivity rates under various levels of management, defining cost-effective and environmentally sound production systems for each region, and identifying the most promising means of reducing costs. 2 tabs.
