Recent technology has made significant gains in expanding our ability to utilize computers in industrial applications. There have been huge influxes of data collection in just about every industry. Agriculture is no exception. In fact, agriculture likely produces more data than most other industries. The business of bioenergy and producing quality and affordable agricultural biomass [...]
Bale decomposition, feedstock degradation, “spontaneous combustion” and hay fires, unnecessary (and costly) transportation of water, shortened storage window, processing and conveying complications, equipment malfunctions . . . Obviously these are some worthwhile motivations to control and closely manage biomass moisture. In the biomass feedstock world, much time and attention is given to properly managing moisture [...]
Recently a major pharmaceutical company had to make yet another recall of a product. The same company has had more than one recall and a bottle may be in your cabinet. This major company is losing credibility with customers and regulators. The CEO was replaced and new promises were made. […]
As Genera Energy continues to develop industry leading biomass supply chain solutions, we are always on the lookout for new and improved dedicated energy crops. These crops may be relatively new species not commonly thought of for bioenergy or may be existing crops that exhibit improved through genetics or with which new agronomic systems have [...]
You might be surprised what all you can buy insurance to protect these days: homes, cars, boats, your health, teeth, life, even your pet’s health or a quarterback’s arm, and that’s just scratching the surface. But risks in production agriculture are different from risk in most other segments of the economy where they are biological [...]
Managing our inventory of biomass feedstock comes with its own unique set of challenges. We typically deal with baled biomaterials such as switchgrass, miscanthus, and corn stover as well as a number of chopped and milled energy crops. All of these feedstocks are subject to physical material losses which inevitably leads to economic losses. Therefore, [...]
When working with energy crops like switchgrass, we like to keep our inventory dry so that better results in particle size reduction and quality may be achieved. While this is considered a best practice for our processing operations, it can create challenges in implementing an effective fire prevention plan. In the context of a hazard [...]
While cost-effective biomass feedstock supply chain systems often focus on maximizing crop yields, there is another way to amplify efficiencies in the supply chain. By increasing the bulk density of the feedstock in the transportation and packing process, it will result in additional cost savings. Bulk density is a term used to describe the amount [...]

Primary Energy Cane production research locations, B. Baldwin, MS State Energy cane (Sacharum spontaneum) is simply sugarcane that has been bred and selected for biomass or fiber production over sucrose production. Work has been ongoing at several deep south universities (LSU, MS State, FL) and federal labs (ARS) to evaluate the [...]
