This Biofuel Feedstocks module is part of the Biomass Energy Training Curriculum, 13 modules developed through a Southern SARE grant and collaboration between Tennessee State University, the University of Tennessee, eXtension.org, and USDA-Rural Development. While it is written as a training guide for TN producers, much of the information is applicable throughout the Southeastern US region.
The objective of this curriculum is to provide training on biomass energy to extension agents and local officials so that they may deliver this information to their stakeholders.
This module covers: Renewable fuels standard, Biofuel conversion processes, Fuel comparisons, Cellulosic ethanol feedstocks and Biodiesel feedstocks suitable for TN and the Southeast US.
Learning objectives: Participants will be able to: identify different biofuel crops, describe how biofuels are produced, and state the advantages and disadvantages of various biofuel crops.
Factsheet: Agricultural feedstocks for cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel, Tennessee State University ANR-B13. 2015.
