In previous posts in this Genera Energy blog series, we covered some of the more oft-cited benefits of advanced biofuels: they are renewable, sustainable, and economically competitive on a market basis (i.e., without additional subsidies). Today we dig deeper and consider how advanced biofuels manufacturing is really a diverse product platform that goes way beyond [...]
Genera Energy recently introduced its newest feedstock management system module, BIN-SPEC™. A proprietary preprocessing system, BIN-SPEC delivers a consistent biomass product to a customer’s specifications with the least amount of variability and at a lower cost. Along with Genera’s other feedstock management systems, Energy Grange™ and Supply ASSURE™, BIN-SPEC was developed through years of R&D [...]
In the first post of this series, I claimed that biofuels are an even more appealing solution for securing our energy future today than they were when they were the darlings of the media and investors in the late 2000s. Why were we so enamored with cellulosic biofuels’ promises nearly a decade ago? And why [...]
Imagine a chef in his or her kitchen, experimenting with new dishes to serve to their fans. Various ingredients are found throughout the kitchen. Perhaps things like flour, sugar, salt, oil, eggs, milk, and so on. Each one of these individual ingredients is unique, produced by different farmers or companies. Eggs may come from down [...]

When intensifying weather events were blamed on reckless use of fossil energy, biofuels became a very sexy topic. And when you have all of these things coming [...]
Agricultural tasks must be conducted with the safety of the worker as the paramount guiding factor. This is no more true than in pesticide application on dedicated energy crops. Managers must evaluate each activity and ask themselves an appropriate series of questions before they get to the field. My earlier post began the discussion by [...]
At Genera Energy, we are committed to providing a safe work environment for our employees. All employees working in feedstock production will undergo an extensive training program before handling or applying restricted use pesticides. By law, it is only required that the acting supervisor be a certified applicator, however Genera feels that redundancy in pesticide [...]
At Genera Energy Inc. a key factor in our proprietary Supply ASSURE™ system is the safe and efficient transportation of the biomass energy crop. Thousands of tons of biomass will be transported along state and federal highways each year. There are three basic areas when reviewing commercial motor vehicle (CMV) regulations: state laws, federal laws [...]
Providing science-based information about feedstocks is very important to the leaders of Genera Energy, and the new Biomass Feedstock Infographic will provide a detailed look at a variety of feedstocks, while also highlighting the how feedstocks perform in the specific stages of the biomass feedstock production process. […]
Historic figures of science and mathematics have legacies that still ring true today and apply to modern day industry. For example, Lord Kelvin noted that “the more you understand what is wrong with a figure, the more valuable that figure becomes.” This quote applies directly to improving operations through data analysis in any industrial process.
