The Biobased Products and Bioenergy Vision
Biomass resources naturally abundant throughout our nation will be a cornerstone of a new energy economy in the United States. An integrated biobased products and bioenergy industry will produce power, fuels, chemicals, and materials from crops, trees, and wastes, helping to grow the U.S. economy, strengthen U.S. energy security, protect the environment, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and revitalize rural America.
Visionary Goals
* By 2010, increase the use of biobased products and bioenergy in the U.S. by 3-fold over 2000 levels.
* By 2020, increase the use of biobased products and bioenergy in the U.S. by 10-fold over 2000 levels.
* With this significant increase, biomass would account for 25 percent of our nation’s total energy consumption (including feedstocks). The U.S. would create the foundation for a secure energy future and establish its worldwide leadership in biobased products and bioenergy technologies.
* By 2050, increase the use of biobased products and bioenergy in the U.S. by another 2-fold to 3-fold over 2020 levels. At this level, biomass would account for as much as 50 percent of our nation’s total energy consumption (including feedstocks). The U.S. would have the capacity to be fully energy-independent, and U.S. companies would be dominant players in substantial worldwide markets for systems and services related to biobased products and bioenergy.
What are some BioMass Industries?
o Electricity
+ Use methane produced by anaerobic digester
# Right now, ONSI Corporation in Windsor, Conn., a subsidiary of International Fuel Cells, is the only commercial manufacturer of fuel cells. Seventy-four of its units, each the size of a minivan, are now in operation, often in locations such as hospitals and remote hotels where grid power is expensive and reliability is worth a premium. (An ONSI installation in Groton, Conn., is consuming methane from a landfill, thereby both generating power and siphoning off an explosive waste gas; the U.S. Department of Energy is supporting a similar project.) Each cell provides 200 kilowatts of power; the heat each produces can also be used to warm buildings, an approach known as cogeneration. ONSI’s marketing manager, Gregory J. Sandelli, states that in 1.25 million hours of total use, his company’s cells have remained in operation 95 percent of the time–a figure that bests on-site, diesel-powered generators. The units, which use phosphoric acid as an electrolyte, are designed to last 20 years.*
o Co-fire with coal to reduce stack gas emissions
o Direct combustion for heat & power
