Mobilizing mine lands for biobased decarbonization strategies
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Over 163 000 ha of mine lands in Pennsylvania (PA) have the potential to produce willow as a feedstock for renewable energy generation. Each year these lands could produce between 454 000 and 907 000 dry Mg of willow, which can be a feedstock for bioenergy (i.e., biopower) with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) or sustainable aviation ...

A new concept for the control of Elytrigia repens in organic crop production [PDF]
, 2012 The control of perennial weeds in organic crop production needs reconsideration to minimise losses of nutrients through leaching. Long post-harvest periods with mechanical weed control hinder a plant cover with the purpose of taking up nutrients not ...

Delivered cost of switchgrass pellets transported from depots to a biorefinery in the Piedmont, USA
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract The southeast region of the USA has the potential to be a significant producer of biobased products; however, research is needed to demonstrate the most cost‐effective feedstock delivery system. This study considers a distributed network of five pellet depots to supply feedstock (i.e., switchgrass pellets) for the operation of a hypothetical ...
