Abstract

A change from petroleum based energy sources has been in motion ever since the initiation of the renewable fuel standard starting in 2007. Dedicated cellulosic energy crops show potential for becoming a profitable solution to help bridge the growing demand for sustainable energy. Bioenergy crops can enhance ecosystem services in marginal lands, as shown in Figure 1.
