Next-generation Biomass Feedstocks for Biofuel Production
The development of second-generation biofuels – those that do not rely on grain crops as inputs – will require a diverse set of feedstocks that can be grown sustainably and processed cost-effectively. This publication reviews the outlook and challenges for meeting hoped-for production targets for such biofuels in the United States.
