The United States has become increasingly dependent on imported petroleum to meet its energy needs. A more diverse portfolio of feedstocks for our nation's energy and chemical supply must be found to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and secure future domestic energy supply. Biomass resources are a sustainable and environmentally-friendly feedstock that can contribute significantly to a diverse energy portfolio. Electricity, transportation fuels, chemicals, and materials currently produced from petroleum and natural gas can instead be produced from biomass.
The Roadmap for Bioenergy and Biobased Products in the United States identifies research and policy measures needed for converting our nation's biomass resources into economically and environmentally desirable biobased fuels, power, and products. It represents the collective assessment of the Biomass Research and Development Technical Advisory Committee, as well as experts from industry, academia, and government. The research strategies outlined in the Roadmap will help achieve the goals established by the Committee's Vision for Bioenergy and Biobased Products in the United States.
