USDA’s Bio-Economic Initiative Algae Biomass Summit San Diego, CA Oct 01, 2014

USDA Energy Policy Background The Climate Change Program Office (CCPO) functions as the Department-wide coordinator of agriculture, rural and forestry-related global change program and policy issues facing USDA. The Office ensures that USDA is a source of objective, analytical assessments of the effects of climate change and proposed response strategies. The Office also serves as USDA's focal point for climate change issues and is responsible for coordinating activities with other Federal agencies, interacting with the legislative branch on climate change issues affecting agriculture and forestry, and representing USDA on U.S. delegations to international climate change discussions. Climate Change Program Office

USDA Energy Policy Background The Office of Energy Policy and New Uses (OEPNU) assists the Secretary of Agriculture in developing and coordinating Departmental energy policy, programs, and strategies related to energy (biofuels and heat and power) and biobased products, and coordinates USDA activities related to energy and biobased products within and outside the Department. The Office conducts economic analysis and evaluates policies concerning energy and the utilization of biobased products. Research is currently underway on renewable fuels and biopower from biomass and marketing biobased products. The Office also tracks energy use trends on crop and livestock farms. Office of Energy Policy and New Uses

OEPNU Specific Programs and Research Areas Biodiesel Fuel Education Program  Co-Administered with NIFA Ethanol and Biodiesel Market Analysis  Net Energy Balance Life-cycle Analysis Land – Use and Bioenergy Bioproducts Research Biopower Research Energy and Agriculture Research Defense Production Act Farm to Fly Farm to Fleet Office of Energy Policy and New Uses
