“Growing Biodiesel in Bluegrass Fields”

Background “The American economy depends on petroleum for transportation, which has created energy security concerns, contributions to climate change, and various other environmental hazards” –National Biofuels Action Plan, Oct Advanced Energy Initiative (AEI): included increased research funding for cutting edge biofuel production processes. Early “Twenty-in-Ten” initiative: plan to reduce gasoline consumption by 20% in 10 years. Mid Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA): signed in to law by George W. Bush December Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS): Congressional response to EISA, require 36 BGY of biofuels by 2022 Cellulosic ethanol and biomass based diesel

Background Farm Bill: $1.6 B in renewable energy and energy efficiency-related spending at USDA $210 M to support loan guarantees for cellulosic ethanol projects EPA Policy Act of 2005: Changed U.S. energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for alternative energy production Since 2006: DOE: plans to invest $1 B in partnership with the private sector and academia to research, develop, and deploy advanced biofuel technologies by 2012 Biomass Research and Development Board (R&D): Maximize benefits deriving from Federal grants Bring coherence to Federal strategic planning Co-chaired by senior officials from: DOE, DOT, USDA, DOD, EPA, NSF

Background The Kentucky 25 x 25 Roadmap Goals: Increase production of renewable energy Deliver renewable energy to markets Expand renewable energy markets Improve energy efficiency and productivity Strengthen conservation of natural resources and the environment

Goals Purpose statement: To establish a biomass energy crop in Kentucky that will be used for fuel production, striving to create a long-term, sustainable biofuel industry which will be economically profitable and lessen dependence on foreign oil.

Feedstock Production What type of agriculture is established on the land through out the 50 m targeted radius? How much land is readily available for growing switchgrass? Who are the land owners? Switchgrass

Radius of Winchester

Feedstock Logistics Harvesting Late October till April. Average yield-2500 tons.

Feedstock Logistics Processing Process to diesel in Irvine.

Feedstock Logistics Storage 6 month average. Stored under a cover or in old tobacco barn. 3 to 6 dollars per ton

Feedstock Logistics Delivery 50 mile radius from Winchester. 10 to 12 dollars per ton to transfer from field to refinery. 26 bales to truck (or 15 to 16 bales.) 160 loads daily to refinery. 14 loads per hour.

Conversion The transformation of the feedstock to liquid fuels

Distribution Transfer of fuel from biorefinery to point of retail sale
