Biomass Coordinating Council (BCC) Biomass Coordinating Council (BCC) With Biomass Producing Biofuels, Biopower, and Biobased Products
2
Biomass Resources are Available From: Agriculture and Forestry Crops and Residues Rights-of-Way, Parks, Yard and Garden Trimmings The Biomass Fraction of Municipal Waste Animal and Human Wastes Aquatic Sources Including Algae Essentially an Inexhaustible Supply
3
Biomass Resources Are Producing Biofuels Including, Ethanol, Methanol, Other Alcohols, Biodiesel, BioOils, Biogas, Landfill Gas and Renewable Hydrogen Electricity, Cogenerated and Stand Alone Thermal Energy Biobased Chemicals and Biobased Products – Essentially, Anything Not Made Out of Glass or Minerals Can be Made From Biomass
4
The Carbohydrate/Biobased Economy is Delivering Fossil Replacements National, Energy and Homeland Security Environmental Pollution Prevention Air, Water, Soil Public Health Greenhouse Gases Climate Stabilization Rural Economic Development New Basic Industries and Quality Jobs Bridges Between Urban and Rural Americans
5
Biomass and Bioenergy – The Rising Powerhouse World-Wide Creativity is Generating New Science and Technology to Meet the Potential of the Biorefinery Concept. This Rapidly Rising Productivity Will Work Cooperatively With Energy Efficiency, the Other Renewable Energy Technologies and the Fossil Energy Industries. Together, They Will Meet International Energy Needs While Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Improving the Overall Environment and Generating New Basic Industries and Jobs.
6
Biomass -- All Systems Go Bioethanol – 3.5 Billion Gallons, 19%/yr increase over past three years Biodiesel – 45 million Gallons, 22%/yr increase over past three years Landfill and anaerobic digester gas rising too fast to keep up with the growth Biomethanol coming on strong
7
All Systems GO (Cont.) Biooils gaining momentum Biopower, 1.8% of nations electricity capacity and gaining Biobased products, $250 million and growing rapidly 28 Emerging technologies and advances in commercial operations – opportunities for nanotechnologies
