Improving bioenergy feedstock quality of high moisture short rotation woody crops using air classification

Journal Article Emerson, Rachel M. ; Hernandez, Sergio ; Williams, C. Luke ; ... - Biomass and Bioenergy

Short rotation woody crops have many advantages as perennial bioenergy feedstocks, including high biomass yields, high carbohydrate and low ash contents, and marginal land utilization. Through short rotation coppicing management, these biomass resources can be harvested year round. The challenge of year round harvesting is feedstock quality variability due to leaf content during periods of non-senescence. The low quality leaf fraction results in higher ash and moisture contents and lower carbohydrate content. Mechanical techniques, such as air classification, provide an economically feasible process to separate heterogeneous biomass samples based on particle density, size, and shape. In this work high moisturemore »« less

Chapter 4 - Mechanical Fractionations of Biomass Feedstocks for Enhanced Pretreatment and Conversion. In the book Biomass Preprocessing and Pretreatments for Production of Biofuels: Mechanical, Chemical and Thermal Methods.

Book Lacey, Jeffrey A.

Living plant biomass consists of multiple types of tissues and organs, each performing unique and essential physical or biological functions in the living plant. Because of these differences in form and function, these tissues and organs can retain these unique physical and chemical properties after senescence or harvest. Properties such as ash composition, ash content, carbohydrate content, lignin content, density, and recalcitrance can vary widely between plant parts and tissues. Mechanical fractionation of biomass feedstocks has the potential to take advantage of these naturally occurring differences to produce physically or chemically unique fractions that have higher or lower value withinmore »« less
Preservation of Microalgae, Lignocellulosic Biomass Blends by Ensiling to Enable Consistent Year-Round Feedstock Supply for Thermochemical Conversion to Biofuels

Journal Article Wahlen, Bradley D. ; Wendt, Lynn M. ; Murphy, Austin ; ... - Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology

Seasonal variation in microalgae productivity is a significant barrier to economical production of algae biofuels and chemicals. Summer production can be 3–5 times higher than in the winter resulting in uneven feedstock supplies at algae biorefineries. A portion of the summer production must be preserved for conversion in the winter in order to maintain a biorefinery running at capacity. Ensiling, a preservation process that utilizes lactic acid fermentation to limit microbial degradation, has been demonstrated to successfully stabilize algae biomass (20% solids) and algae-lignocellulosic blends (40% algae-60% lignocellulosic biomass, dry basis) for over 6 months, resulting in fuel production costmore »« less

Impact of feedstock quality and variation on biochemical and thermochemical conversion

Journal Article Li, Chenlin ; Aston, John E. ; Lacey, Jeffrey A. ; ... - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

The production of biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstock is attracting considerable attention in the United States and globally as a strategy to diversify energy resources, spur regional economic development and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Because of the wide variation in feedstock types, compositions and content of convertible organics, there is a growing need to better understand correlations among feedstock quality attributes and conversion performance. Knowledge of the feedstock impact on conversion is essential to supply quality controlled, uniform and on-spec feedstocks to biorefineries. This review paper informs the development of meaningful feedstock quality specifications for different conversion processes. Discussions are focusedmore »« less

Nth-plant scenario for forest resources and short rotation woody crops: Biorefineries and depots in the contiguous US

Journal Article Hossain, Tasmin ; Jones, Daniela S. ; Hartley, Damon S. ; ... - Applied Energy

Estimating the US potential of woody material is of vital importance to ensure cost-effective supply logistics and develop a sustainable bioenergy and bioproducts industry. We analyzed a mature conversion technology for woody resources for the contiguous US that takes advantage of economies of scale: the nth-plant. Here, we developed a database to quantify the total accessible woody biomass within a distributed network of preprocessing depots and biorefineries considering both quality specifications for conversion and a target cost to compete with fossil fuels. We considered two categories of woody biomass: 1) forest residues from trees, tops and limbs produced from conventionalmore »« less
