Choice of optimum feedstock portfolio for a cellulosic ethanol plant – A dynamic linear programming solution

Kumarappan, Subbu; Ivanic, Rasto - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2009

viable, management of multiple feedstock supplies – that vary in their yields, density (tons per unit area), harvest window … for the success of individual enterprises. The manager’s feedstock procurement problem is modeled as a multi … biomass stored for off-season. The sensitivity of feedstock costs to changes in yield patterns, harvesting and transport costs …

The Economics Of Growing And Delivering Cellulosic Feedstocks In The Beaumont, Texas Area

Fumasi, Roland J.; Richardson, James W.; Outlaw, Joe L. - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2008

We estimate the contract prices that must be paid to grow cellulosic energy crops, and the costs of harvesting and transporting those crops in the Beaumont, TX area. Results indicate that the delivered price would range between $54 and $101 per ton of dry matter depending on the specific crop.

Wood Bioenergy and Land Use: A Challenge to the Searchinger Hypothesis

Sedjo, Roger A.; Sohngen, Brent; Riddle, Anne - 2013

A concern of many environmentalists is that the use of biomass energy will decimate the forests. Searchinger et al. (2008, 2009) examined this issue related to corn ethanol and suggested that substituting corn ethanol for petroleum would increase carbon emissions associated with the land...

Carbon Neutrality and Bioenergy: A Zero-Sum Game?

Sedjo, Roger A. - 2011

Biomass, a renewable energy source, has been viewed as “carbon neutral”—that is, its use as energy is presumed not to release net carbon dioxide. However, this assumption of carbon neutrality has recently been challenged. In 2010 two letters were sent to the Congress by eminent scientists...

Switchgrass Lignin Regulation and Ethanol Production Cost

Gouzaye, Amadou; Epplin, Francis; Saha, Malay; Serba, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014

The optimal switchgrass genotype from among 250 alternatives for producing biomass for use in an enzymatic hydrolysis conversion process to produce ethanol was determined. The consequences of the selected genotype, relative to the most common commercially available variety, on ethanol production...
