Production of Lignocellulosic Isobutanol by Fermentation and Conversion to Biojet
(5/2/2016)Gevo has developed fermentation and process technology to convert biomass sugars to isobutanol and further into renewable jet fuel through chemical processing. As a key member of the NARA project, Gevo has developed GIFT®, ... -
Pretreatment of Woody Biomass for Biofuel Production
(1/20/2016)Biofuel production from woody biomass through the sugar platform requires efficient production of fermentable sugars either chemically and enzymatically by hydrolyzing polysaccharides in wood cell walls. Enzymatic sugar ... -
TPO harvest residue information and forest market models for biorefinery siting potential
(11/19/2015)NARA scientists have focused on building supply chain solutions demonstrating forest harvest residues as a viable source of woody feedstock for production of biojet. A key aspect in supply chain logistics is biorefinery ... -
'Woods-to-Wake' life cycle assessment of residual woody biomass based jet-fuel
(10/21/2015)The residual woody biomass (a.k.a harvest slash) produced during forest harvest operations in the Pacific Northwest, is generally burned in the forest or left on the forest floor to decompose. Drop-in biofuel production ... -
Characterization of forest residuals for bio-jet fuel production
(10/19/2015)Softwood feedstock samples collected throughout the Pacific Northwest have been characterized for carbohydrate, lignin, and extractives content. Some of the samples have received exhausting testing through pretreatment, ... -
Decision support for forest harvest residue collection
(10/15/2015)Forest harvest residues are often available at roadside landings as a byproduct of the log manufacturing process. This residue is usually available for renewable energy production if desired, however there is a significant ... -
Estimating forest residue for biomass production
(10/13/2015)The webinar begins by describing the biomass supply chain and the issues with its management. This will lead to motivation of why measurement of forest residues is necessary for its successful management. The seminar then ... -
Long-term soil productivity and sustainability of forest harvest residue harvesting
(10/10/2015)Forest harvesting intrinsically removes organic matter and associated nutrients; these exports may impact soil productivity of managed forests. We will examine the effects of removing forest floor and harvest residues on ...
