     Trees have several unique characteristics that make them a valuable and preferable renewable resource in the production of biofuels and the storage of a biomass inventory. |
|
 Biofuels created from fast growing, high yield purpose grown trees offer a clean, renewable source of green energy.   The U.S. government has set a goal of 35 billion gallons in alternative fuel consumption by 2017. Both wood and starch-based biomass will be necessary to meet this target. Biotechnology will provide new products that will enable the sustainable production of purpose-grown trees in the Southeastern United States, providing a critical solution for enhancing national energy security and regional economic development.
As a global leader in improving trees through advanced genetics, ArborGen has the expertise and capabilities to help develop a dedicated and renewable energy resource. ArborGen’s trees, particularly purpose grown hardwoods, are ideally suited to produce cellulosic ethanol from planted working forests.
