Recent national publicity about biofuels as a viable, near-term alternative to conventional transportation fuels places unprecedented pressure on the Biomass Program to produce measurable results. National efforts to meet the goals include the entire biomass-to-biofuels supply chain-from the farmer's field to the consumer's vehicle. This scope represents a significant expansion of the Biomass Program's historical activities. In the past, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) took the lead on research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in feedstock production, while DOE focused on feedstock logistics and cellulosic biomass conversion (through the Biomass Program and Office of Science) and on biofuels distribution and end use (through its FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies Program). Contributing to the President's goals will now require coordination among a broad range of stak
