Q: Why is Bioenergy considered a renewable form of energy?
- Feedstocks for bioenergy production are derived from materials formed thousands of years ago through geological processes
- Feedstocks for bioenergy production are derived from materials formed from recently living biological material, which can be harvested and replanted
- The energy contained in the biomass is solar energy captured through natural processes of photosynthesis
- Both a & c
- Both b & c
A: Both b & c

Q: What are the main sources of biomass for bioenergy?
- Aquatic invertebrates, fungi, and bacteria
- Corn grain, corn stover, and switchgrass
- Agriculture, forests, and waste
A: Agriculture, forests, and waste

Q: What are the three types of conversion technology?
- Thermal, chemical and biochemical
- Combustion, pyrolysis and gasification
- Chemical agents, enzymes, microorganism
A: Thermal, chemical and biochemical

Q: True or False: Most of all current ethanol production in the U.S. uses advanced processes to derive sugars from cellulosic biomass crops to ferment into ethanol.
- True
- False
A: False

Q: What are the drivers of Bioenergy development?
- Policy initiatives that promote research and development
- Concern about United States’ energy independence
- Environmental and climate concerns associated with climate change due partially to use of non-renewable energy resources
- Potential for new means of economic development
- All of the above
A: All of the above

Q: What role does policy have in Bioenergy development?
- Providing incentives for farmers to grow bioenergy crops, in the absence of a mature and reliable market
- Providing incentives to industry to develop commercial scale bioenergy facilities, in the absence of tested technologies
- Providing assistance in developing infrastructure needed to support a nascent industry
- Providing funding for research and development of potential technologies, in that commercial enterprises cannot commit extensive financial resources to technologies and products that may not be commer
- All of the above
A: All of the above
