Biomass-Based Energy, Oklahoma/Mississippi Consortium

Combines gasification and fermentation technologies to produce ethanol and chemicals Utilizing perennial grasses and crop residues as feedstocks for gasification, and the resulting synthesis gas (syngas) is used to drive the fermentation process. Two biomass gasifiers, a fluidized-bed reactor and a downdraft unit have been optimized using switchgrass, bermudagrass, and corn fermentation waste as inputs.
The Iowa Biotechnology Consortium

Brings together university faculty, scientific staff and industry R&D specialists to develop technologies that allow the recovery and recycling of energy, chemicals, and materials from agriculture- and biotechnology-related processing wastes. Airlift reactor modeling for syngas fermentation; production of 3-hydroxypropionate from syngas The National Alternative Fuels Laboratory, University of North Dakota

• A feasibility study for the development of a research and demonstration hybrid (coal, biomass) gasification unit at BARC is in progress.
– This effort is a collaboration between USDA-ARS BARC and – The size of gasification unit will be appropriate for application in – Approx. 15% of the heat energy will come from coal • Base heat allows for fluctuating energy/water content of available biomass – A pilot-scale pyrolysis unit is to be included in the design Federal Biofuels Posture Plan Workshop
- Demonstration of a Viable Gasification System Which Can Be Used Directly or - Biomass Feed Preparation and Feeder Development - Single and Multiple Biomass and/or Industrial Feed - Gasifier Syngas - Low Temperature Membrane Gas Separation Experiments for Fuel - Chemical Synthesis/ Specific Biomass Liquid Fuel Experiment and Verification of - Evaluation of Ash as a Soil Amendment- Biomass Drying and Heat Recycle- CO2 and Heat Recovery for Pilot Sized Algae and Other Biomass Growth Federal Biofuels Posture Plan Workshop
BARC has a full-scale anaerobic digester associated with the dairy. The digester was installed over 10 years ago for the purpose of odor control. Funds were received in FY-06 from NPS to initiate research on biogas production.
– Currently the digester is being instrumented for research– Research will occur at bench-, pilot-, and full-scale– The overall objective is to improve the net energy production from the biogas Federal Biofuels Posture Plan Workshop
• Development of new approach to collect, transport and store loose (unbaled) straw. New approach reduces cost and improves energy balance for cellulosic-derived transportation fuels.
• Collaboration with Farm Power, a non-profit consortium of farmers, private citizens and environmental concerns to conduct on-farm trials. • Collaboration with Kentucky bluegrass seed producer to establish on-farm gasification research capabilities.
