The Sun Grant Initiative is working with the Department of Energy - Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office of Biomass Program to develop and implement a Regional Biomass Partnership to address barriers associated with the development of a sustainable and predictable supply of biomass feedstocks.  As part of the partnership, OSU will perform replicated field trials for the next five years on Oklahoma CRP land to gather biomass production potential and sustainability data of native grasses for assessing potential of Oklahoma CRP land as a bioenergy feedstock resource.
