Abstract	The objective of this research is to evaluate the feasibility and locations of using cellulosic biomass both from crop residues and from dedicated energy crops to supply 200-million-liter-biodiesel plants in France. The estimation of the potential amount of agricultural residue available in 2015 in each region of France is calculated. The residues considered in this study come from cereal straw and corn stover. Results show that eight out of the twenty one French regions have enough agricultural residues available to supply at least one 200 million liter biofuel plant. Region Centre has the largest potential, with enough residues to supply three to five plants. Finally, cost of supplying one biodiesel plant of 200 million liters in the region Centre is estimated. Results show that collection of biomass will be effective in an area with a radius of 58 Km to 168 Km depending of the raw material considered and its abundance. The cost of supplying a plant with miscanthus is much higher than with residues only. Thus, crop residues appear to offer a lower cost to produce biodiesel in the near term compared to a dedicated crop. Results show that production of biofuel from cellulosic biomass should not be limited by the supply of raw material, but costs of conversion to liquid fuels clearly will play a key role in the development of cellulosic biofuels. Energy prices and policies will have a significant impact on second generation biofuel development.
