Abstract

The article focuses on the five Biomass Research Centers created in 2010 by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The centers focus on a regional approach to feedstock production in order to help the Agricultural Research Service and the Forest Service establish a successful bioenergy industry. The Northern-East, the Western, the Northwestern, the Southeastern and the Central-East regional centers are discussed along with their research priorities, focus and challenges.
