Crop residues, including stems, leaves, and other plant parts left over after grain harvesting, account for a significant source of biomass for bioenergy. Residues from crops like corn, wheat, and sugarcane are all being actively used as biomass sources. With over 90 million acres of corn planted in the US, corn residues or corn stover, [...]
Operating in the agricultural world inevitably means that we also operate at the whims of the weather. Talk to any farmer and you will find that the conversation quickly turns to rainfall amounts (or lack thereof), wet fields, late arriving Spring, early arriving Summer, temperature extremes, scorched crops, bumper crops when precipitation has been good, [...]
In the biomass industry, safety is a key focus. The precautions we take are not only to ensure the safety of our employees but the safety of our community as well. One way we continuously monitor our safety programs is through safety audits. […]
Once we understand that efficiency is really about reducing waste, then we must determine how we will measure our effectiveness. It takes us back to the quote from Kelvin: If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. It is critically important to measure the significant parameters in your operation without wasted time and effort. [...]
As we conclude this 3-part blog series, we follow up on earlier examinations of projections for continued variability and intensity in weather patterns and how increasing our use of sustainable biomass can shift our long-term trajectory in a positive direction while simultaneously increasing our preparedness and resilience in dealing with shorter-term weather extremes. [...]
You can easily web search this topic and come up with dozens of diagrams and repetitive examples for being efficient. The trick for everyone is the implementation of an ongoing and ever improving execution of efficiency. Here are three quotes that I think do a good job of helping us wrap our mind around efficiency. [...]
Often, when biofuels are discussed, ethanol is the fuel everyone thinks about. The alcohol fuel can be produced from corn and other grains as well as biomass like switchgrass and sorghum. However, there is another alcohol fuel that may be as big a part of the biofuels and biochemicals mix one day soon. It is [...]
In Part 1 of this 3 part blog series, we examined projections for continued variability and intensity of weather patterns and risks over the coming decades. Increasing our use of sustainably produced and regionally tailored energy crops and biomass to meet our growing demand for all forms of energy and products is not expected to [...]
Accurate cost modeling is no small feat, especially when the system you are trying to model spans a large number of operations and variables that have varying degrees of impact on the ultimate cost of your product. For a burgeoning industry like the biomass-based market we serve, this can be even more challenging because you [...]
