Abstract

Transformation of the renewable and abundant biomass resources into a cost competitive, high performance biofuel can reduce Tennessee's dependence on fossil fuel and enhance energy security. However, there is limited understanding of the potential of biofuel resources, their utilization, and economic potential. This study evaluates the economic feasibility of selected bioenergy crops for Tennessee and compares their cost competitiveness. The selected lignocellulosic feedstock consists of switchgrass and Miscanthus.
