Future demand for fertilizer from bioenergy crop productionCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Technical ReportIn this study an assessment is made of the future demand of fertilizers from bioenergy crop production. A representative sample of various assessments on the contribution of bioenergy is derived from literature. The projections are translated into fertilizer demand, assuming that all bioenergy is produced from dedicated woody bioenergy crops.... More» Author: Edward M.W. Smeets and André P.C. Faaij - submitted on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 20:12. Energy Crops and their Implications for ForagesCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Technical ReportThe US Department of Energy (DOE) reports an annual need for a billion tons of biomass to produce enough biofuel to replace 30% of current USA petroleum consumption. Switchgrass is considered one of the main perennial biomass species for cellulosic ethanol production. Breeding and management research is currently underway at the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation in partnership with Ceres, Inc.... More» Author: Joe Bouton - submitted on Wed, 11/12/2008 - 19:47. Some Recent Advances in Hydrolysis of Biomass in Hot-Compressed Water and Its Comparisons with Other Hydrolysis MethodsCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Journal ArticleBiomass hydrolysis extracts, particularly sugars and other useful derivatives, are important products for further conversion to produce biofuels. The past 2 decades have witnessed significant research and development activities using hot-compressed water for the hydrolysis and conversion of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignocellulosic biomass materials....

Alcohol Fuels from Biomass – Assessment of Production TechnologiesCategory: - Documnet Type: Technical ReportThe purpose of this study is to consolidate and document the progress to date and development status of biomass-to-alcohol (bioalcohol) production technologies, and to help guide continued development activities in the Western region and elsewhere. Specific objectives outlined for the study are to: ... More»Author: Dennis Schuetzle, Gregory Tamblyn and Frederick Tornatore - submitted on Mon, 11/03/2008 - 18:38. Sewage Sludge as a Biomass Resource for the Production of EnergyCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Journal ArticleTreatment of municipal wastewater results worldwide in the production of large amounts of sewage sludge. The major part of the dry matter content of this sludge consists of nontoxic organic compounds, in general a combination of primary sludge and secondary (microbiological) sludge. The sludge also contains a substantial amount of inorganic material and a small amount of toxic components. ... More» Author: Rulkins, Wim - submitted on Mon, 07/14/2008 - 22:29. Pyrolysis of Wood/Biomass for Bio-oil: A Critical ReviewCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Journal ArticleFast pyrolysis utilizes biomass to produce a product that is used both as an energy source and a feedstock for chemical production. Considerable efforts have been made to convert wood biomass to liquid fuels and chemicals since the oil crisis in mid-1970s.... More» Author: Dinesh Mohan; Charles U. Pittman; Philip H. Steele - submitted on Fri, 07/11/2008 - 21:40. Western Biomass Task Force ReportCategory: Biomass - Documnet Type: Technical ReportAn assessment of biomass resources was undertaken as part of the Western Governors' Association (WGA) evaluation of the potential for generating additional electrical energy from clean and diversified energy resources in the WGA member states and territories....
