The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Texas A&M AgriLife Research (Texas A&M) to develop a comprehensive assessment of economic viability and environment sustainability of producing advanced energycane and biomass sorghum in the southeast United States. Field experiments would be conducted using three new genotypes of energycane and three genotypes of biomass sorghum at seven sites (three in Texas, and one each in Louisiana, Mississippi; Georgia, and Florida). Data on the crops and surrounding environment would be collected and analyzed over a five (5) year period.
