Energy and Agriculture
U.S. energy independence and security lie
squarely at the intersection of U.S. Agriculture
and Energy Industries.
Agriculture is the best source of practical
plentiful near-term renewable fuels and energy
Biomass is the only renewable source liquid
transportation fuels

Energy In Georgia
Georgia is an energy island!
Biomass is Georgias only significant
home-grown energy source
Georgia uses approximately 3 of the U.S. total
energy consumption
95 of Georgias energy is imported
Biomass is the only renewable energy feedstock
for production of liquid transportation fuels
4 of Georgias energy from biomass feedstocks,
mainly wood
