Feedstock Logistics for Biorefineries: The success of lignocellulosic biofuels and biochemical industries depends on an economic and reliable supply of high-quality biomass. However, research and development efforts have been historically focused on the utilization of agriculturally derived cellulosic feedstocks, without considerations of their low energy density, high variations in compositions and potential supply risks in terms of availability and affordability. This session will explore strategies that enable supply chain improvements in biomass quality and consistency for conversion to biofuels and co-products.
