Genera recently introduced a new infographic featuring a visual overview of different biomass feedstocks and guidelines for choosing the best solution for every biomass project. The infographic highlights key supply chain elements and explores which biomass crops are best suited for an application. While not comprehensive to all feedstocks, the document gives customers, stakeholders, and policy makers a better understanding of the unique dynamics associated with biomass feedstocks.
Key details in the infographic include a description of five different biomass crops including switchgrass, miscanthus, energy cane, biomass sorghum, and corn stover. The infographic also features a detailed look into comparing biomass feedstocks, and provides a thorough overview and comparison of the entire feedstock production process. The infographic is unique because not only does it provide a detailed look at a variety of feedstocks, it also provides a comparison of how the feedstocks perform in the specific stages of the biomass feedstock production process. While not suited to every biofuel, biochemical, or bioproduct conversion facility, each of these key feedstocks will play an important role in meeting the needs of the emerging biomass-based industry. The selection of the right feedstock or portfolio of feedstocks is unique to each project and this infographic provides basic information to aid in making the appropriate selections. 
Choosing the right feedstock or feedstock portfolio is critical to the success of any project. In many cases, raw feedstock is 50 percent or more of the total cost of producing renewable biofuels and biochemical. Optimizing a project’s feedstock portfolio has a significant impact on profitability. Understanding and appropriately integrating biomass feedstocks is vital to the success of the entire industry
