We at Genera Energy understand that biofuels are a renewable energy source that can minimize the United States’ dependency on imported petroleum and improve the domestic economy. Systems for producing, harvesting, collecting, preprocessing, storing, and transporting diverse forms of biomass can operate more efficiently if the biomass they process is uniform and consistent in terms [...]
Many years ago I was working in a corn processing facility and the company was very comfortable with the material handling of corn and several other products. For the most part, you put in a well sloped cylindrical cone bottom in storage bins and mechanically conveyed with belts and conveyors. Materials dropped and flowed well. [...]
Intellectual property is generally a company’s intangible creations of the mind. It consists of anything from processes, products, trade secrets, customer lists, inventions, names, or creative writings. Intellectual property for many companies may be as much if not more valuable than its physical assets. Because of the very nature of these intangible assets, protection of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
