As renewable energy and renewable product demands grow, creative locations for biomass conversion facilities are evolving to allow for unique comparative advantage opportunities such as co-location synergies with pre-existing facilities and access into particular demand markets or by-product offtake markets. Moreover, dedicated energy crops can be very geographically concentrated and sometimes these unique facility opportunities [...]
This series of posts focuses on four of the primary areas of risk in any biomass supply chain based on dedicated energy crops and the things that Genera is doing to reduce or remove these risks. Our first three posts focused on land recruitment, risks associated with successfully establishing the energy crops, and risk from [...]

This series of posts focuses on four of the primary areas of risk in any biomass supply chain based on dedicated energy crops and the things that Genera is doing to reduce or remove these risks. Our first post focuses on land recruitment and availability. Today’s post highlights risks associated with successfully establishing the energy [...]
“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 [...]
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 [...]
Imagine a chef in his or her kitchen, experimenting with new dishes to serve to their fans. Various ingredients are found throughout the kitchen. Perhaps things like flour, sugar, salt, oil, eggs, milk, and so on. Each one of these individual ingredients is unique, produced by different farmers or companies. Eggs may come from down [...]
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 [...]
Historic figures of science and mathematics have legacies that still ring true today and apply to modern day industry. For example, Lord Kelvin noted that “the more you understand what is wrong with a figure, the more valuable that figure becomes.” This quote applies directly to improving operations through data analysis in any industrial process. [...]
