AFRI Regional Bioenergy System Coordinated Agricultural Projects (CAPs) is sponsored by USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). These projects are intended to test the feasibility of developing sustainable regional systems for the production of biofuels, biopower, and biobased products.
They address biomass feedstock production, logistics, and conversion technologies, and aim to enhance rural prosperity and national energy security. The regional systems focus on non-food dedicated biomass feedstocks such as perennial grasses, sorghum, energy cane, oilseed crops, and woody biomass. Lignin valorization from such feedstocks would be highly relevant.
