Agri-Energy
Agriculture will play a major role in providing the energy needs for this country in the future, as demand for renewable fuel sources increases. Kentucky has an opportunity to capitalize on the new technology in biofuels and biomass production along with today’s renewable energy industries. Kentucky has extensive areas of productive farmland, which are ideal for dedicated production of biomass crops. In addition, Kentucky has an abundance of forest products to supply materials for energy utilization. Research and development of energy capabilities and markets is needed to help position Kentucky as a long term leader in the field of renewable energy. This effort will benefit agriculture as a whole in Kentucky.
