An interdisciplinary team of scientists have been assessing the potential for producing biofuels from both crops and other agricultural materials and the impact on carbon mitigation and environmental sustainability. Crops include various oilseeds and perennial grasses distributed across a variety of agri-climatic zones and production systems. Other agricultural materials include livestock manures and food processing waste streams as well as crop residues. Agronomic, environmental and economic trade-offs are being assessed.
