There has been renewed attention on “climate change” in recent weeks as the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report. As scientists from every fray of the vast topic weigh in and offer analyses and perspectives, at least one common thread emerges: this topic is likely to not only keep [...]
With the development of renewable energy sources from agricultural feedstocks, farm contracts have become an essential part of the production and supply chain of biomass. In general terms, a contract is an oral or written agreement between two or more parties. […]
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 2,976,400 recordable, work-related, non-fatal injuries and illnesses in the United States for 2012. Add to that number 4,383 fatal injuries and illnesses that occurred in that same year. As many of these injuries could have been avoided, it’s easy to understand why Genera Energy takes promoting [...]
When sizing energy crops to be packaged for use as a biomass feedstock for biofuels, bioproducts or biopower, there are several factors throughout the supply chain that should be considered. While our finished products are tailored to the application of the consumer, these guidelines ensure each production run achieves the desired quality and specification. It [...]
At Genera Energy, we are “feedstock agnostic”, meaning that we work with any feedstock that is the right fit for a given project. Some projects benefit from a diverse portfolio of biomass sources, whereas other operations are uniquely aligned to one particular feedstock. Biomass sorghum is an annual crop that Genera Energy has extensive experience [...]
You may not of think scale operations and procedures as being a critical piece of the biomass supply chain. Scale operation and logistics play an important role in the supply chain for feedstock quantity, inventory, and other factors regarding energy crops. Scales need to work properly and drivers need to correctly use the scale system. [...]
It is true that Genera Energy is agnostic about refined products and related technologies and that our biomass supply chain strategy is one that goes to great lengths to meet varying customer needs for any bioproduct, chemical, fuel, power, or otherwise. However, we take great interest in the refined products and technologies and have a [...]
It is easy to understand the due diligence required to prove a new technology before a commercial scale project can obtain financing. Having a long-term offtake agreement with favorable terms is another box that has to be checked. But many project developers and technology providers in the biofuels, biochemical and bioproducts space underestimate the efforts [...]
Genera Energy considers switchgrass to be one of the primary dedicated energy crops for the production of biofuels and biochemicals. The appeal of this native perennial grass is that it can be densely planted and high yielding while requiring a minimal amount of inputs like fertilizer and weed control once it has been established. These [...]
When we hear the word agriculture, the first thought that pops into your mind is usually a local farmer. The last thing anyone thinks about is an industrial scale biomass supply chain, feedstock production, or storage. Industrial scale agriculture is much different than a small family farming operation. Specifications on quality control, scheduling, and logistics [...]
