If you’ve been following the previous posts in this Genera Energy blog series, you have a pretty good idea why I’m bullish on the outlook for biomass as a key component of a safe, secure, sustainable, and cost competitive energy future. But wait … there’s more! […]
Genera Energy is focused on the supply of sustainable and affordable energy crop biomass to anyone advancing forward and beyond limited petroleum resources. Our limited petroleum resources also require significant energy just to transport them long distances from the source to market. Therefore, we remain focused on the technologies and industry that facilitate the production [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
When oil spiked to $120/barrel several years ago, biofuels became a very sexy topic. When Middle East tensions neared a boiling point, biofuels became a very sexy topic. 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 [...]
The final yield tally after dedicated energy crops are harvested gets a majority of the attention when evaluating these crops. Standing next to 12 foot tall grass and realizing big yields once the crops are harvested is always impressive, but Genera Energy appreciates the importance of waist high grass during the spring season as well. [...]
If you hang out with chemists very often, you’re bound to hear one of their favorite witty wisecracks about lignin at some point: “You can make absolutely anything out of lignin … except money.” This full of potential yet still scorned complex polymer, lignin, is nature’s glue filling up spaces in plant cell walls, helping [...]
