The document discusses different configurations for cellulosic biofuel systems, including centralized versus distributed facilities and single plant species versus multiple species as feedstocks. It analyzes each configuration across various functionality metrics such as favorable energy balance, increased farm income, reduced soil erosion, and improved water quality. The distributed processing models using multiple plant species generally perform best according to these metrics.

Editor's Notes
- CRP is a model against which we can consider the added value of perennial feedstock based cellulosic biofuels. CRP gives us erosion/water conservation and improved wildlife habitat and associated wildlife related opportunities
- What happens if we replace CRP with cellulosic biofuel feedstocks?
- I will make the connections to the different components on this slide. These are only a part of the opportunities offered in enhancing multifunctionality on the landscape, multifunctionality offered by cellulosic biofuels if done correctly. Consider cellulosic biofuels CRP on steroids.
