Session 16
Feedstock III – Biomass Supply, Integrated Biorefineries, and Sustainability
Thursday, May 1, 2014: 1:00 PM-4:25 PM
Grand Ballroom F-G, lobby level (Hilton Clearwater Beach)
Conveners:
Adilson R. Gonçalves - Escola de Engenharia de Lorena - Universidade de São Paulo, Lorena, and Richard Phillips - North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC
Existing and newly developed biomass sources will need to be produced and delivered to the integrated biorefinery with the lowest possible cost. Their production also has to be permanently sustainable. Here we discuss studies and demonstrations of biomass production technology, improved agronomic practices, harvesting technologies and sustainability issues such as land and water use, economics, and supply chain logistics critical to dramatically reducing the feedstock cost. Progress on life-cycle analysis and related sustainability analyses and their validation for the integrated biorefinery and the energy efficiency will also be part of this session.
