Sustainable Biofuels from Forests: Meeting the Challenge

This report examines how forest products could be used as biofuel and the availability of these products. To study the sustainability of this bioenergy source, this report reviews some of the forest practices and certification programs which have proven successful in other regions of the world.
This report is one of a four-part series based upon scientific manuscripts initially presented at a conference hosted by the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and sponsored by a consortium of other scientific organizations, nongovernmental
organizations, federal agencies, and the private sector in Washington, DC, on March 10, 2008. All four reports can be found at the the link below or the following web address: http://www.esa.org/biofuelsreports/
