Production of biomass from native prairie species offers the opportunity to produce energy and chemicals while … providing substantial ecological services in the Northern Great Plains. This paper analyzes the application of rapid pyrolysis … determine the costs of native prairie grasses delivered to a plant capable of pyrolyzing the biomass. Competing technologies …

the production and use of biomass, biogas and biofuel. We conclude that the annual quantity of required biomass is already … available and it should be possible to meet the demand for solid biomass for direct combustion without the need for significant …

This paper describes a global model for agriculture and bioenergy (GLOMAB) that incorporates biomass, biofuels and …) biofuels and associated biomass feedstocks (maize, sugar cane, crop residues, woody biomass). Beside biofuels, the model also … incorporates bioelectricity (as separate form conventional electricity) which competes for the same biomass feedstocks with …

Over the last decades traditional energy sources are increasingly replaced by energy from biomass and this trend is … mitigation scenarios on the utilization of biomass for energy production and the price of agricultural products. To this end, we … ESIM their supply side. According to our results, an extension of the mandatory reduction of emissions has strong biomass …

Conversion of biomass to electricity is often not economically feasible as a result of large transportation costs and … biomass on-site and consider the optimal scale of the plant to achieve a price premium by selling peaking power given … uncertain biomass deliveries year over year as a result of climatic variability. We find that, for conservative electricity …

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 …
