20 Free, Hot Biomass Downloads: Feedstock development

1. Biofuels Research and Development Initiatives – Feedstock Development

This US multi-government department and agency group commissioned an overview of efforts aimed at producing more and better feedstocks with higher yield and faster payback.

2. Environmental and Regulatory Sustainability of Genetically Engineered Bioenergy Feedstocks

This SunGrant study looks primarily at switchgrass, but also bioenergy and plant genomics of short rotation hardwoods, high yield wood crops and traditional forestry.

3. HurterConsult’s Non-Wood Fiber Raw Materials and the Biorefinery

Regardless of the platform, a nonwood fiber-based biomass to biofuel or biopower biorefinery project typically involves the harvesting, baling, transportation, long term storage and preparation of very large volumes of biomass.  And, in the case of agricultural residues and many biomass crops, they are typically harvested in 6-8 weeks and need to be stored for an entire year to feed the biofuel or biopower facility.
