In the world of biomass production, weed pressure during establishment can be the ultimate nemesis for all biomass crops. In this industry, along with our row crop cousins, we succeed and fail by our ability to consistently produce high yielding crops. On top of the ever increasing cost of production, we now also have to [...]
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 [...]
In bioenergy, a common concern related to the scale-up of some energy crops is invasiveness. The introduction of many invasive plants has occurred intentionally, as with ornamental plantings, and accidentally as a by-product of commerce. Herein lies the concern with bioenergy crops. No one wants to unintentionally introduce the next Kudzu! To evaluate potential energy [...]
Genera Energy Inc. realizes that managing and mitigating risk are key objectives to any contractual relationship. The parties should try to identify potential risks that are specific to the relationship and negotiate the risk allocation accordingly. The term “Risk” in this context generally means exposure to potential injury or loss resulting from the performance of [...]
So far, we’ve explored a number of benefits and advantages offered by cellulosic biofuels: renewable, sustainable, economically competitive, diverse product platform, fungible and compatible, on demand and storable, energy efficient, clean burning, and localized. Today, we conclude our series describing why advanced biofuels are even more deserving of respect and enthusiasm today than they were [...]
“You never stop learning.” That motivational quote is typically found in a graduation speech, but there is certainly a good bit of truth in that inspiring platitude. I firmly believe that staying current in any profession requires constant education so I have been attending several of the University of Tennessee’s Global Supply Chain Management courses [...]
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 [...]
