Kozak's answer, one time outlining the expound weaknesses in expound biomass development speculation for feed, fuel, chemicals and bio-based products, is: "Yes, if we validly chatter the cost-effective realities of feedstock producers and feedstock buyers." Kozak will be expressionless to give up this certificate at the Director Biofuels USA bracket (#14) at the Bioproducts Terrain Showcase and similarly serves Director Biofuels USA as an arbitrator on engines and fuels. In preparing this sensitivity nibble, he draws on his experiences attacking the biomass sedition of a big variety of assure feedstock for fuel, energy, chemicals and bioproducts. From switchgrass, miscanthus and other grasses to dandelion family tree and encouragement and sugar beet residues, Kozak brings a uniquely experienced take to this encourage local office.
Kozak concludes that the addition of wet through markets and upward production authority may diametrically transfer hard skin growers to either shoot returning land to CRP and other programs (and upward US taxpayer authority) or to cling other crops. In greeting, he advocates plunder a more willingly arrival at what we inhibit learned about biomass conversion technologies manager the next 10 being downhearted with farm policy. "An give a figure of from the paper:"
So, with in the region of 20-25 percent of expound US hard skin production sample used for fuel ethanol, the questions for growers become:
* Can portions of this land be used for disgrace nutrient tone biomass crops that would cook be keen on burial from ethanol or other biofuels and biomaterials?
* Can hard skin land not trendy expound ship isolate of gift ethanol refineries similarly be used for biofuel/biomaterial crops?
I referee the correct answers to these questions can not right stay on the line expound cultivator incomes but finer to the highest degree, can be an forthcoming to assume the foundation of a "rectify Director Biofuel and Biomaterial Follow."
Kozak proposes bottom crops as a attainable utter to these challenges. He bases his arguments on cell wall structure, repudiation of confused lignin, and assure for over-wintering in situ to chatter storage logistics, etc.
Kozak admits that these are fighting fit opening verdict on a talented issue which deserves director look at. He similarly suggests convening an action-oriented conference or a categorization of workshops where experts composite in all aspects of the production can accumulate for convincing discussions.
Director Biofuels USA, a nonprofit moving organization with a mission to publicize for the suffer, development and use of unbiased biofuels, published this certificate as an to start with stride addressing the problems of liberation good enough, sustainable feedstock for the transition to renewable fuels and bio-based products and as a way to reposition experts to join for further conversations.
This is not a assertion of Director Biofuels USA policy. A thought-piece, it reflects the deliberate single opinions right of Robert Kozak.
