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.

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.
Summary: 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.
