Sam Jackson, vice president of business development for Genera Energy, a recognized leader in biomass feedstock innovation and supply chain advancements, will be a featured speaker at the 2015 National Advanced Biofuels Conference October 26-28 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Best Practices for Controlling Potentially Invasive Energy Crops While some dedicated energy crops can be easily defined as invasive, and avoided as such, many others are more difficult to classify. Some crops may not be invasive in certain geographies or climates while becoming invasive in others. Management practices may also determine if a crop has [...]
No one can predict the date, time or place of an emergency. That makes it critical to plan and prepare for any emergency situation. Emergencies can be caused by many things, weather, people, machines, different situations or places. Here at Genera Energy, we strive to ensure that we have the best policies and procedures in [...]
Current Biomass Crop Invasiveness Ratings Crops that are attractive for biomass production often exhibit invasive tendencies. Crops that produce high yields of biomass grow fast, have dense canopies that shade out competitors, and are often perennial, sprouting year after year to hold a site. While these tendencies are desired in energy crops, they can become [...]
Growing biomass crops in the field is only the first step in the process of producing high quality uniform feedstocks that are then supplied to a consumer. Genera Energy’s supply chain activities minimize costs and risks associated with crop production. However, have you ever thought about the process that must occur to convert fairly diverse [...]
Several of our previous blogs have touched on some of the high points of biomass handling and feedstock storage. We have discussed the importance of managing feedstock moisture and keyed into some of the pros and cons of round bales, square bales, and forage harvested material. But having a high level knowledge of biomass inventory [...]
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! […]
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 [...]
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 [...]
