We analyze the effects on local biomass supply, demand, and prices of co-firing requirement for existing coal …-fired power plants. The co-firing requirement is imposed on 398 existing power plants. The biomass feedstock can come from corn … stover, wheat straw, switchgrass, and/or forest residues. Our model incorporates county-level biomass supply as well as …

considerable potential to become one of the main sources of biomass to meet the 2022 renewable fuel target. Focusing on the land …

When the lignocellulosic biofuels industry reaches maturity and many types of biomass sources become economically … gallon cellulosic ethanol plant located in south west Kansas that requires approximately 700,000 metric dry tons of biomass … biomass stored for off-season. The sensitivity of feedstock costs to changes in yield patterns, harvesting and transport costs …

cellulosic biomass production is typically smaller scale than conventional crop production, limited knowledge exists of the … actual costs of producing cellulosic biomass and converting it to cellulosic ethanol. Understanding of the implications of … implicit carbon price (or carbon credit) needed to sustain a biomass market and cellulosic ethanol industry. We evaluate …
