Objectives

• Improve bioprocesses that will utilize woody biomass.
• Improve forest management and apply biotechnology to increase forest biomass productivity/utilization per acre by 65%
• Demonstrate forest land management, fuels production, and vehicular technologies that close the carbon cycle and stabilize atmospheric CO2 levels.
• Optimize powertrain technologies that reduce fossil fuel consumption over the life cycle by up to 100% in vehicles that use these technologies.
