Energy and agriculture at the crossroads of a new future / Keith J. Collins and James A. Duffield -- Agriculture as a producer of energy / Vernon R. Eidman -- Energy consumption in US agriculture / John A. Miranowski -- Energy systems integration: filling biomass energy from agriculture into US energy systems / Otto C. Doering III -- US oil and gas markets: a scenario for future strong inter-fuel competition / Kevin J. Lindemer -- Dry-mill ethanol plant economics and sensitivity / Douglas G. Tiffany and Vernon R. Eidman -- An econometric analysis of the impact of the expansion in the US production of ethanol from maize and biodiesel from soybeans on major agricultural variable, 2005-2015 / John (Jake) Ferris and Satish V. Joshi -- Ethanol policies, programmes and production in Canada / K.K. Klein, Robert Romain, Maria Olar and Nancy Bergeron -- Economic analysis of alternative lignocellulosic sources for ethanol production / Brian K. Herbst, David P. Anderson, Michael H. Lau, Joe L. Outlaw, Steven L. Klose and Mark T. Holtzapple -- The supply of maize stover in the midwestern United States / Richard G. Nelson, Marie E. Walsh and John J. Sheehan -- Economic modelling of a lignocellulosic biomass biorefining industry / Francis M. Epplin, Lawrence D. Mapemba and Gelson Tembo -- Economic impacts of ethanol production from maize stover in selected midwestern states / Burton C. English, R. Jamey Menard, Daniel G. De La Torre Ungarte and Marie E. Walsh -- Livestock watering with renewable energy systems / R. Nolan Clark and Brian D. Vick -- Trends in US poultry housing for energy conservation / John W. Worley, Michael M. Czarick and Brian F. Fairchild -- Experiences co-firing grasses in existing coal-fired power plants / Doug M. Boylan, Jack Eastis, Kathy H. Russell, Steve M. Wilson and Billy R. Zemo -- Animal waste as a source of renewable energy / Soyuz Priyadarsan, Kalyan Annamalai, Ben Thien, John Sweeten and Saqib Mukhtar -- Development of genetically engineered stress tolerant ethanologenic yeasts using integrated functional genomics for effective biomass conversion to ethanol / Z. Lewis Liu and Patricia J. Slininger -- Case studies of rural electric cooperatives' experiences with bioenergy / Carol E. Whitman -- Potential for biofuel-based greenhouse gas emission mitigation: rationale and potential / Bruce A. McCarl, Dhazn Gillig, Heng-Chi Lee, Mahmoud El-Halwagi, Ziaoyun Qin and Gerald Cornforth -- Life cycle assessment of integrated biorefinery-cropping systems: all biomass is local / Seungdo Kim and Bruce E. Dale.
Recent concerns about energy security in the US have drawn greater attention to agriculture's role as a producer and consumer of energy. Agriculturally-derived energy sources such as ethanol, biodiesel, biomass, and windpower presently supply between 0.3% and 0.50% of the energy consumed in the US. Organized into two parts, the first section of this book examines agriculture's role as a producer and consumer of energy, the integration of biomass energy into the US energy systems, a policy overview, and outlooks for energy production and consumption. The second section is a compendium of current research including the economic viability of ethanol and biodiesel; energy conservation and efficiency in agriculture; new methods and technologies, and environmental impacts and considerations.
