The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Maximizing the Value of Cover Crops in the Pacific Northwest
Cover crops have multiple benefits—soil health is the most important benefit. Can Cover crops be a material feedstock supply center for biofuels? Primary challenges to adoption are uncertainties in use of cover crops across states and includes relative roles of climate, soil type, production practices, and policy.. A team of researchers including Daniel Santosa (PI), […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Sustainable Herbaceous Energy Crop Production in the Southeast US.
What is the potential for cellulosic bioenergy crop production? Cellulosic bioenergy crop production is a nascent industry in the U.S. and has the potential to supply 5% of U.S. energy demand while achieving increased carbon reduction. The southeast U.S. is ideally suited for a cellulosic industry due to plentiful land, ample rainfall, and a pressing […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Next-Generation Feedstocks for the Emerging Bioeconomy
A team of researchers have designed a project to develop productive, cost-effective, and sustainable warm-season perennial bioenergy feedstock production systems on marginal croplands across geographic locations in the Midwest. They have found that there is limited data availability on field-scale research with high-yielding switchgrass cultivars., And, there is a need to demonstrate ecosystem service benefits […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Cover Crop Valorization for Biofuels and Products
Agriculture contributes >9% of US total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nitrous oxide, CO2, and methane from soil management is the biggest GHG contributor. There is a need to reduce the carbon intensity of biomass feedstocks. A team of researchers have launched a project tro answer questions such as, do cover crops let producers sustainably remove […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to sustainability indicators for waste-to-energy supply chains
A team of researchers have designed a project to develop a triple-bottom line sustainability (social, environment, economic) assessment tool for local government to evaluate trade-offs of different organic waste streams and energy conversion strategies that help achieve local/regional policy objectives over the current and long-term. While there is intrinsic opportunity in carbon recovery/minimizing carbon intensity […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Single-Pass, Weather Independent Fractionation Technology
An estimated 60% of the available corn stover will be collected in excess of 20% moisture resulting in a lack of ability to produce a reliable feedstock with conventional harvest and storage systems. A team of researchers have designed a project to: overcome issues with the current bale-based state of technology; develop a single-pass corn […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Fractionation of Forest Biomass Wastes
A team of researchers have designed a project to support development of woody feedstocks forUniversity of Maine’s Thermal Deoxygenation pathway to produce renewable aviation fuel and chemicals. The goal of the project is to prepare woody biomass for conversion in TDO by engineering particle attributes to improve flow reliability and separating detrimental components within the […]
The Digest’s 2024 Multi-Slide Guide to Biomass Size Reduction, Drying and Densification
Low-cost carbon resources (agricultural residues, forest residue, and non recyclable municipal and industrial wastes) exhibit consistent challenges. Inherent physical and chemical variability in feedstocks result in excessive process downtime, and uncontrolled costs with documented failures in the industry as a whole. Common industry milling operations do not address core problems such as: fines, contaminants, and […]
