There is a continuous and growing interest in new alternatives for biomass and bioenergy crops (as well as biofuels).
Soil regeneration through biomass to fix damaged mine lands
Mining sector may now have a possible way to monetize soil regeneration in degraded lands. While deforested areas can only produce high yields under certain methods, our solutions sequester massive amounts of CO2, produce energy or bio-products creating income in social inclusive models.
Biomass power: Feedstock cost is the key
Biomass power costs recently published by IRENA showed how critical could be to obtain reductions in feedstock costs and footprint at power station gate. We suggest ways for success.
Agave: from ‘fuel or food’ to ‘fuel and more food
Researchers confirmed potential for new plantations in drylands under constraint environmental conditions.
Why bioenergy crops (already) met expectations?
A brand new study (Nov 27th, 2017) revealed that there is enough consensus for conclusive evidence that perennial bioenergy crops can mitigate climate change emissions with very high savings of CO2 when cultivated on marginal lands.
Bioenergy will have a key role in global decarbonization
Imagine a world where biomass can be used to produce energy and high value added products while sustainable carbon farming and processing technology take CO2 from air and put it back into the ground.
Non-food biomass in US to reach 1bn ton in 2040
Non-food Biomass plantations would take a major role in United States bioeconomy during next decades.
Improving logistics in Napiergrass during harvest operations
Napiergrass is one of highest yielding crops in tropical countries that can be used for pulp and bioenergy. A logistic system optimization is required in several environments. Its tall stalks and low leaves/stalk ratios (below 40%) allow high process efficiency for both pulp and energy uses and also a low biomass production cost.
Biomass against intermittency
Combining renewable technologies such as wind or solar with biomass sources could boost renewable energies implementation in many areas.
Biomass storage: 5 methods compared for willow chips
New study compared biomass storage techniques of willow chips in piles during 12 months. Mositure, ashes and calorific value changes are reported.
