Biomass Feedstock Production and Provision: Overview, Current Status, and Challenges,sidue, perennial grasses, and woody biomass, will constitute a major portion of the feedstock for these biomass-based energy systems. However, successful transition to this second-generation bioenergy system will require cost-efficient, reliable, and sustainable biomass feedstock production and prov

Engineering Properties of Biomass,rsion to fuels, heat, and power. These properties include bulk density, particle density, particle size, color, moisture content, ash content, heating value, and flowability. In this chapter, the characterization methods of these properties are reviewed. In particular, the recent development of the

Biomass Feedstock Storage for Quantity and Quality Preservation, supply of quality feedstock to conversion plants. Storage of biomass entails conserving both its dry matter content and its carbohydrate content which may be converted to ethanol. Moreover, it also entails preparing the biomass in terms of its composition, particle size, and pH for the pretreatment

Sustainability Issues in Biomass Feedstock Production: A Policy Perspective,her bioenergy policies truly result in environmental and societal improvements befitting of their “bio,” “renewable,” and “green” labels. Environmental concerns range from potential emissions of greenhouse gas emissions from indirect land-use change, in some cases making the footprint of biofuels wo
