Atlanta Is The Place F
rom our point of view, the new generation wood energy and wood-based fuels industries have been moving along at a breakneck pace for several years now. I realize that if you’re with one of the venture producer companies, or with one of the contractors or equipment suppliers, you may have a different perspective as your project drifted forward, or, present tense, continues to drift forward. But we’ve seen it differently as tons of news releases filled (and continue to fill) our e-mails with new venture and project announcements and developments. Unless, in our opinion, the proposed project sounds totally implausible, we’ve tended to run with it in the magazine. I mean, if somebody has the nerve to stick their neck out on the chopping block, we’ll stretch it out a little farther for them. And at no cost. Beginning on page 16, you’ll read about the upcoming Bioenergy Fuels & Products Conference & Expo, which will be held at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta, Ga. on March 18-19. The event is held every other year, and will feature eight keynote speakers, another 30 or so session speakers, and about 70 equipment and supplier exhibitors. The event is hosted by Wood Bioenergy magazine and, like this magazine, it covers wood pellets, biomass power, biofuels, woody feedstock procurement and harvesting. The initial conference timeline agenda is on pages 18-20. I view this event as an opportunity for the participants in this new era industry to regroup, take a look around, see who’s not with us anymore and also discover who’s new to the gathering—companies and people. Which companies are bringing new technologies to the table? What projects are in the works? Which projects have momentum? Which ones are nearing startup or have started up? Which once highly publicized ventures will we learn have officially expired?

Each one of our eight keynoters will bring a pertinent message to the table. I’m particularly looking forward to hearing Huey Long, Senior Principal with Mountain Creek Group. In addition to having a great name, Long has more experience with “wood” than about anybody, and has had a knack for being involved in private venture projects that invited immense public scrutiny. Long intends to review some of the questions we all were asking five years ago when this “new” woody biomass industry landed like a spaceship out of nowhere. Knowing Huey, he will provide some very entertaining and educated observations and answers. And since he was also a career U.S. Army Commander, he won’t care what anybody thinks. Come join us in Atlanta March 18-19. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll learn something. And it’ll be fun. Register at www.bioenergyshow.com

gasoline, 40% diesel and 25% fuel oil. Fred Cannon, president and CEO, comments, “It continues to demonstrate the progress that we have made in bringing the world’s first cellulosic gasoline and diesel
commercial facility to steady-state operations. Despite our accomplishments to date, we still have a lot of work to do to bring the Columbus facility towards target throughput, yield and financial performance levels. The financial performance of the facility was negatively impacted by the temporarily depressed pricing for RINs caused by proposed 2014 renewable volume obligation rulemaking by the USEPA.” Cannon said the project needs to focus on three goals: first, bringing the Columbus facility to the levels of operational and financial performance that were expected when they designed that facility over three years ago; second, continuing to develop technology so that they can improve yields and process improvements both at Columbus and at future facilities; and third, aggressively managing cost without sacrificing their long-term goals. “To that end, from now through the end of the first quarter of 2014, we expect that our efforts at Columbus will be focused on implementing a series of mechanical improvements to the facility rather than production volumes,” he says. “We plan to operate the facility on a limited campaign basis only to verify the expected impact of improvements we intend to implement. In addition, we continue to see encouraging developments in our catalyst and process development efforts that we believe will continue to drive improvement in yields and overall plant economics.” Cannon added, “The uncertainty caused by USEPA’s proposed 2014 RVO rulemaking has already made and will continue to make our expansion financing efforts more challenging, but we believe that once USEPA adjusts the 2014 RVOs in a manner consistent with the policy goals of the Renewable Fuel Standard, some of these short-term challenges will lessen. While our strategy is taking longer to execute than we anticipa-

Dalkia Will Operate Biomass Power Plant Dalkia and Fengate Capital Management Ltd. have closed the financing for a biomass plant in Fort St. James, British Columbia. Dalkia will operate and maintain the facilities and manage the woody biomass supply and preparation. Funding for this project will be provided by the Canadian fund Fengate Capital Management Ltd. Dalkia and Fengate Capital Management Ltd. have contracted Iberdrola Engineering & Construction to build the plant. With an electricity capacity of 40 MW, the plant will consume
307,000 metric tons of biomass a year. Dalkia will manage the biomass supply working closely with local forestry companies, sawmills and the First Nations. The biomass used by this plant will largely comprise waste from the British Columbia forestry industry, such as sawmill and logging waste, and trees killed by the mountain pine beetle epidemic that has ravaged British Columbia forests over the past 10 years. This plant will generate electricity sold to BC Hydro & Power Authority to power almost 40,000 Canadian households. It will reportedly avoid the annual discharge of around 95,000 metric tons of CO2. The project will also create around 250 jobs during the construction phase, and then 80 new direct and indirect jobs during the 30-year operation period. “This project will capitalize on
Dalkia’s worldwide experience in designing and operating more than 450 biomass plants. In winning this contract, Dalkia has demonstrated its know-how and expertise, and the relevance of its international growth strategy,” comments Franck Lacroix, Chairman of Dalkia. Dalkia is a wholly owned subsidiary of Veolia Environnement and Electricité de France.
We Energies Begins Commercial Operation We Energies reported that the 50 MW woody biomass-fueled power plant on the site of Domtar Corp.’s Rothschild, Wis. paper mill was placed into commercial operation in November after testing and commissioning activities were successfully completed. “The addition of the biomass

plant enables us to produce renewable energy on demand,” says Gale Klappa, We Energies chairman, president and CEO. “That benefit is simply not available with solar or wind generation.” More than 400 workers contributed to the construction of the
biomass plant, which also will support approximately 150 permanent jobs in the region, including independent wood suppliers and haulers from northern and central Wisconsin who will secure waste wood for the project. Under Wisconsin law, utilities
statewide must use renewable energy to meet 10% of the electricity needs of their retail customers by the year 2015. With the commercial operation of the Rothschild biomass plant, We Energies estimates that it now has secured enough renewable energy to remain in compliance with the state mandate through 2022. In addition, Domtar’s use of the steam produced by the plant will help improve the paper mill’s energy efficiency and reduce overall emissions at the site by more than 30%.
Bill Would Eliminate Corn Ethanol Mandate Senators Dianne Feinstein (DCalif.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and eight cosponsors introduced the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act of 2013, which would eliminate the corn ethanol mandate within the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which requires annual increases in the amount of renewable fuel that must be blended into the total volume of gasoline refined and consumed in the U.S. Feinstein said, “Under the corn ethanol mandate in the RFS, roughly 44% of U.S. corn is diverted from food to fuel, pushing up the cost of food and animal feed and damaging the environment. Oil companies are also unable to blend more corn ethanol into gasoline without causing problems for automobiles, boats and other vehicles. I strongly support requiring a shift to low-carbon advanced biofuel, including biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol and other revolutionary fuels. But a corn ethanol mandate is simply bad policy.” The Renewable Fuel Standard, first enacted in 2005, requires refiners and blenders to use 16.55 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2013. More than 13 billion gallons of this total will be met by the use of corn ethanol, a level that will increase in subsequent years. Acccording to Feinstein, there

are two key problems with continuing to mandate the consumption of more and more corn ethanol each year. Corn consumption: Approximately 44% of the U.S. corn crop is now used to produce ethanol, artificially inflating food and feed prices while damaging the en-
vironment. Blend wall: As gasoline consumption declines, refiners face a “blend wall” when the RFS mandate exceeds the limit at which ethanol can be blended into the fuel supply, determined to be 10% of total gasoline consumption. The Corn Ethanol Mandate
Elimination Act of 2013 solves both problems by removing the top-line mandate for renewable fuels, while leaving mandates for non-corn ethanol advanced biofuels untouched, she said.
Upgrades Planned For INEOS Bio The INEOS Bio Vero Beach (Fla.) facility has made significant operational progress and is steadily moving toward stable operations in 2014 with a focus on improving performance metrics throughout the year, according to David King, site director. “Bringing the facility on-line and up to capacity has taken longer than planned due to several unexpected startup issues at the Center. These efforts have highlighted some needed modifications and upgrades,” King says. “In the upcoming months we will focus on implementing these upgrades. We believe that performance at the facility to date has shown that, once these modifications are successfully implemented, INEOS Bio’s technology can meet and over time exceed the design technology performance metrics.” The efforts moving forward will continue to focus on safe operations, optimizing the technology, and de-bottlenecking the plant to achieve full production capacity, King adds. The BioEnergy Center is a joint venture commercial demonstration project between INEOS Bio and New Planet Energy. At full capacity, it will have an annual output of 8 million gallons (24kta) of cellulosic ethanol and 6 MW (gross) of renewable power. This is the first commercialscale production in the world using INEOS Bio’s gasification and fermentation technology for conversion of biomass waste into bioethanol and renewable power. The facility has converted several types of waste biomass material into bioethanol, including vegetative and yard waste, and citrus,

EPA Hosts Meeting On SPI Expansion Environmental Protection Agency held a public meeting in Anderson, Calif. about the proposed addition to Sierra Pacific Industries’ 4 MW cogeneration plant
on the site. Following the proposed $43 million expansion the mill would consume about 7 MW and 24 MW would be sold. Sierra Pacific hopes to complete the addition in 2015. SPI principal Red Emmerson was quoted on the project, which was first proposed in 2009: “This delay has been ridiculous. We’ve already spent $1 million trying to get this facility permitted. It has probably cost Shasta County between $300,000 and $350,000 each year in taxes that we would have paid had we been allowed to build it and operate it, so that is $1 million in taxes that these delays have cost the county. And that isn’t even counting the additional jobs it would have created.”
Bandit Industries, Alamo Go Separate Ways Bandit Industries announced that the company will for now remain privately owned, as it has turned down a purchase offer from Alamo Group Inc. The company also stated that it will continue to explore options for a potential sale. Alamo Group reported that the proposed acquisition, which was announced on November 19, had been terminated; that the transaction was subject to certain conditions and that the parties “had been unable to reach an agreement on a basis for going forward.” Bandit Industries President Jerry Morey comments, “Alamo is an exceptional company and we are very honored that they’ve shown such an interest in Bandit and our corporate culture. Ultimately, we decided the best future for Bandit and our 400 employees at this time was to remain a private company.” Bandit Industries reports that 2013 was a record sales year. The company recently completed a factory expansion of 20,000 square feet, with additional expansions already in the works. “When we first announced that we were considering offers to sell Bandit, myself, Mike Morey Sr.

and Dianne Morey said that we would only sell if it was the right fit,” Jerry Morey says. “Taking care of our employees and our dealer network, continuing to support our mid-Michigan community and maintaining the Bandit legacy we built over the last 30 years, these are things we cannot put a price on.” Bandit employs 408 at its midMichigan headquarters, constructing nearly 50 different wood processing machines that range from small wood chippers to large wood waste recyclers, stump grinders and forestry mowers.
Bandit equipment is sold through a global dealer network with more than 160 locations. Alamo Group is a leader in the design and manufacture of equipment for right-of-way maintenance and agriculture, including truck and tractor mounted mowers, street sweepers, excavators and other products.
Woody Biomass Will Be Part Of Biochemtex Mix A global technology provider of specialized biofuels and renewable chemicals, Biochemtex, plans to

GREC Comes On
Commercial Operation By Jay Donnell GAINESVILLE, Fla. n 2002, community discussions began about the possibility of a new power source in Gainesville through Gainesville Regional Utilities. Studies were conducted over several years to consider the city’s baseload electrical generating options, including coal, natural gas, biomass and purchasing power from other utilities. In 2007, the city and utility became serious about biomass power as an option, especially to bring much needed diversity to the GRU power generation portfolio, and awarded the contract to the American Renewables development team for the development of the plant and the power agreement. Following more project analysis from the state, site approval and getting permits and logistics in place, construction on the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center (GREC) began in June 2011 and was substantially completed in October 2013. As of mid-December, the $500 million, 100 MW facility, which is adjacent to a GRU coal plant, is open for business and in commercial operation. It is built to supply enough renewable power for approximately 70,000 homes. GREC has a 30-year, $3.1 billion power purchase agreement with Gainesville Regional Utilities to sell all of the electricity from the facility to the utility. Today GREC is owned by Energy Management, Inc.,

BayCorp Holdings and Starwood Energy, as well as by certain principals of Fagen, Inc., the contractor that built the facility. Starwood and Fagen became owners during the course of the construction project. Late last year the city made an offer to purchase the plant, reportedly $400 million, which was turned down. EMI’s Mark Rodgers says they remain open to a sale, but are “also open to the possibility of long-term ownership.” GREC will utilize approximately 1 million tons of woody biomass annually as fuel, making this operation environmentally friendly, cost-effective and reliable, and bringing a new source of electricity to the region while reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and lifting GRU’s renewable energy portfolio to more than 20%. Over the nearly three-year construction period, up to 900 construction workers helped build GREC at a time when unemployment in the region had risen and good jobs were hard to find. Today, 45 employees operate GREC. GREC is also spending approximately $30 million annually for wood fuel, and creating 160 forestry and trucking jobs to handle the once discarded wood, process it, and deliver it to the facility. Richard Schroeder is the president and founder of BioResource Management, Inc. and his company has worked closely with the GREC. The company was formed in 2005 and Schroeder has over 30 years’ experience in the biomass and forestry industry. Schroeder’s company was acquainted with the owner through previ-

ous biomass development efforts in New England and other parts of the country. BioResource Management maintains an office at the power plant and they are responsible for all aspects of the wood supply including verification that the supply meets the sustainability standards and quality standards required by the plant. The company employs a full-time forester to monitor all forest harvesting to ensure that the wood delivered meets all criteria and standards for best management practices and sustainability. BioResource Management is contracted to supply the plant through 2019. Approximately 40% of the raw material used in the plant is urban wood waste (tree debris and landclearing), 40% in-woods chips and 20% mill residues (such as bark and sawdust) and logging residuals. The company used its contacts and experience from working the supply area for over 30 years when they went about rounding up a list of logging suppliers and other raw material suppliers. “As with any project, the supply is never finalized; existing and potential suppliers are evaluated on a continual basis,” Schroeder says. Approximately 12-20 suppliers deliver to the facility on a regular basis, from within a 75 mile radius of the plant. Schroeder reports that he received positive reactions when he approached potential wood suppliers. “Every-
one in the wood business was enthusiastic about the project. This represented a new market, for forest materials previously not used, and enabled wood suppliers and landowners to increase their productivity in their existing lands and equipment,” Schroeder says. The plant only receives material that is in “chip” form. The specification is that all material be size reduced so that 95% by weight will pass through a 2 1/2 in. round hole screen and no material can be longer than 7 inches. The GREC is a unique biomass plant according to Schroeder. “This plant is much larger than most stand-alone biomass generating facilities,” Schroeder notes. “It also incorporates the latest in both combustion and emissions control technology, meeting all current and anticipated future regulatory requirements.” GREC hired Fagen Inc. as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor. Metso supplied the 100 MW biomass boiler island, flue gas cleaning system and plant automation system. The boiler is a 930,000-pound per hour bubbling fluidized boiler, while the 116.1- MW Siemens turbine provides low combustion and low-excess air, which results in minimal emissions. The operation requires approximately 130 truckloads of fuel daily. To accommodate peak delivery periods,

three drive-through Airoflex truck dumpers are capable of unloading around-the-clock. Wolf Material Handling Systems provided the fuel handling solution and they were tasked with supplying every component in the wood yard from the time the delivery drivers weighs in at the gate to the metered delivery of fuel to the boiler house. As a complete solution provider for the GREC system, Wolf designed and manufactured an innovative sampler system at the scale house and over a half mile of conveyors incorporating one fixed stacker, two wood hog chain feeders, and two Wolf-designed, underpile reclaimers with the associated chute work and dust collection system. The system also included the Airoflex drive-over truck dumpers, inbound and outbound scales, RID fuel tracking system, and dual hog and screen systems. After unloading, the biomass fuel passes under a metal detector and magnet to remove ferrous metals upstream of the disc-screen/hammer hog sizing system. WSM Bioprep fuel preparation machinery includes a WSM model 72-18 disc screen with dual drive and WSM model 5472 vertical feed hog/grinder. The WSM disc screen features incoming orientation rolls and a dual drive system for high capacity screening of preprocessed fuel. Acceptable fuel passes through the disc screen, and over-sized material is gravity fed to the WSM 5472 vertical feed hog/grinder (54 in. diameter x 72 in. wide rotor). WSM’s vertical hog/grinder is specifically designed for high volume processing of boiler fuel materials, and to reduce operating and maintenance costs with design features that include pivoting housing for access, reversible/replaceable hammer tips, and modular screens. The Wolf Radial Stacker/Reclaimer is capable of automatically building a million cubic foot pile at a rate of 600 TPH while simultaneously reclaiming at a rate of 200 TPH. It is the largest stacker/reclaimer Wolf had provided to date. Biomass fuel will have an average moisture content

of 45%. Generally, the yard operates on a first-fuel-in, first-out basis. The BFB boiler technology involves combustion of biomass fuel in a dense, fluidized sand bed located at the bottom of the furnace as well as above the bed. To further control the NOX air emissions, the plant uses a selective catalytic reduction system. To mitigate particulate matter, Fagen constructed a 20-module baghouse, which offers better filter control. Gainesville Regional Utilities also holds itself to strict environmental standards as its site is a zero-liquid-discharge zone, meaning that all industrial wastewater is recycled and reused and will not leave the site. Steam generated by the boiler is sent to the steam turbine generator for the production of electricity, which is transmitted from the STG to a switchyard to increase the voltage. The electricity is then transmitted through aerial transmission lines to the electric grid. The evolvement of the project included considerable feedback from the public over various issues, one of which was noise emissions. The site is eight miles northwest of downtown Gainesville. According to EMI’s Rodgers, there were concerns from neighbors about the noise, but the plant has been able to decrease the level of noise through the implementation of acoustic panels in the main stack. One of the biggest challenges now, Rodgers says, is that natural gas prices have fallen. He adds, “In the long run the community will be able to see the value of using renewable GREC hired Fagen Inc. as the engineering, procurement and construction contractor. energy.”

Biofuel Development:
Projects Moving Onward
Biofuels still seeking widespread commercialization.
By Dan Shell
D
espite the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent proposal to reduce the amount of biofuels required for blending into transportation fuel in 2014 that has unleashed a firestorm of special interest lobbying and maneuvering, advanced biofuels producers in the wood bioenergy sector are moving ahead on refinery projects, and federal funding for cellulosic ethanol and advanced biofuels research remains strong: ● Advanced biofuel plants operated by KiOR in Columbus, Miss., INEOS Bio in Vero Beach, Fla. and Alpena Biorefinery in Alpena, Mich., are up and running and now producing commercial amounts of cellulosic gasoline and cellulosic ethanol using woody material as a primary feedstock. ● Recent federal grants announced at the end of 2013 that support ongoing research into biofuels and feedstock development total $18 million. This includes $10 million from U.S. Dept. of Agriculture to the Bioenergy Alliance Network of the Rockies, a consortium of five colleges and universities in the northern Rockies area of the U.S., that will research efforts to utilize the region’s millions of acres of dead and dying timber and convert it to liquid fuels. In addition, another $8 million in federal grants from the Dept. of Agriculture and U.S. Dept. of Energy was also recently announced to be shared among seven universities that will research ways to develop non-food feedstocks to make bioenergy. Focus areas include trees and grasses that can be grown for biofuel and ways to increase yield, quality and adapt-

ability to extreme environments. The research will cover switchgrass, poplar and pine and other plants. Federal legislation passed in 2007 requires increasing amounts of ethanol and other biofuels to be blended into U.S. transportation fuel. The legislation created a renewable fuels standard (RFS) that mandated the use of 9 billion gallons of renewable fuels for transportation in 2008, rising to 36 billion gallons by 2022. Currently, the RFS calls for a total of 18.2 billion gallons of renewable fuel blending in 2014. The EPA’s recent proposal reduces that requirement to 15.21 billion gallons. The requirement will be overwhelmingly filled by corn ethanol producers. The proposed cellulosic ethanol targets for 2014—of most interest to the wood bioenergy sector—are 2.2 billion gallons, a 20% reduction from 2013. This covers a wide variety of producers and non-food feedstock users, including biodiesel produced from waste grease, ethanol from corn stover and other agricultural wastes. Also included are drop-in biofuel developers seeking to produce fuels such isobutanol and cellulosic gasoline that are essentially “retail ready” in terms of blending and distributing through existing fuel infrastructures. According to Michael McAdams, president of the Advanced Biofuels Assn., by backing off on the requirements, EPA is threatening to “pull the rug out from underneath the growing biofuels industry.” EPA’s proposals could be a “devastating blow to this nascent energy sector,” McAdams says. “Such a move will chill future investments necessary to produce largescale quantities of renewable fuels.” He added that a collective $14 billion has been invested by private com-

panies in research and development of advanced cellulosic biofuel production, and reducing EPA requirements would also be a definite step back from both the Bush and Obama administrations' commitment to addressing climate change. Ethanol and advanced fuel interest groups have come out hard against EPA’s proposal. A marathon, all-day hearing at a DC-area hotel in early December featured 24 separate panels and 144 lobbyists and other industry representatives testifying on the pros and cons of reducing the ethanol requirement. The hearing was part of EPA’s public comment process on the proposal, which runs through mid January. The agency’s final rulemaking could come months afterward. Ethanol industry and biofuel supporters are claiming such a reduction will severely damage the nation’s fledgling ethanol industry and hamper overall investment and development of advanced biofuels. Reducing the RFS mandate will cause a supply glut and price drops leading to as many as 20 of the nation’s 210 ethanol plants shutting down, according to some reports. The proposal also flies in the face of cellulosic fuel development that’s happened slower than most of its supporters have hoped. On the ag side, three major plants are scheduled to open this year in Iowa and Kansas utilizing corn stover and other agricultural wastes, each with a capacity of 25-30 million gallons annually. Cellulosic and advanced biofuels are segments of the renewable fuel industry that have had a much tougher time than corn ethanol, for example, in product and process development leading to commercialization. Reducing advanced cellulosic biofuel blending requirements makes the task of finding financing for promising non-food feedstock utilization technology even tougher. At the hearing in DC, BIO’s Brent Erickson noted the billions of dollars in private investment and public grants and incentives that have been put in place to support the renewable fuels industry. He warned the EPA’s proposal would set a precedent to “freeze” renewable fuel usage at a small percentage of fuel consumption while undercutting current investments and future biofuel research and development. In other developments concerning wood-based biofuel plants: ● KiOR officials recently released an “operational update” on its Columbus, Miss. cellulosic refining facility that produced 410,000 gallons in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year, the facility came in just under 1 million gallons. According to KiOR officials, the 920,000 gallons of fuel produced in 2013 included 40% diesel, 35% gasoline and 25% fuel oil. Calling the Columbus facility the “world’s first cellulosic diesel and gasoline commercial facility to reach steady-state operations,” KiOR President and CEO Fred Cannon noted that during the course of 2014, managers are focusing on improving refinery operations to improve yield and overall efficiency while keeping costs down.
Alpena Biorefinery ships first ethanol in November 2013.
Cannon added that the plant has been affected by depressed pricing for Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) due to the EPA’s proposal for reduced biofuel mandates in 2014. ● The INEOS Bio plant near Vero Beach, Fla. started producing its first commercial ethanol shipments this past summer. The facility utilizes a wide variety of feedstock, from vegetative and yard waste to wood and pallet waste. The small-sized commercial plant is scheduled to produce 8 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol and 6 MW of renewable power annually. Company officials say they hope to sell the green energy concept to other communities. ● In Michigan, the Alpena Biorefinery built by Decorative Panels International in Alpena shipped its first commercial load of ethanol in early November. The innovative plant, using technology developed by American Process Inc., utilizes wood sugar-rich effluent from the adjacent hardboard panel plant and is slated to produce about 900,000 gallons of ethanol annually along with 700,000 gallons of potassium acetate. ● Soon after announcing a feedstock development agreement with local landowners, officials with Biochemtex announced in early December the company is moving ahead with its North Carolina advanced biofuels facility and planning to invest $200 million in the plant in Sampson County, NC. According to Biochemtex, the new plant will produce 20 million gallons annually of cellulosic biofuel from woody biomass, agricultural residues and locally developed and grown energy crops. Known as Carolina Cellulosic Biofuels, the plant is expected to be operational by 2016. Biochemtex cellulosic biofuel technology supplier Beta Renewables started up the world’s largest cellulosic ethanol plant at Crescentino, Italy in August 2013. ● It’s not a new plant development but a key hurdle passed for drop-in biofuels: Prompted by major isobutanol producer Gevo, Inc., Underwriters Laborators (UL) recently approved the generic use of up to 16% isobutanol in standard gas pumps, giving the assurance that isobutanol-blended gasoline will work in existing fuel delivery systems. The action removes another hurdle in expanding the utilization of renewable fuels in U.S. on-road gasoline.

of Montana, Montana State University, Colorado State University, University of Idaho, University of Wyoming—with the goal of turning beetle-killed timber into liquid power. This team includes University of Montana professor Woodam Chung whose research is focused on cost-effective ways to truck slash and other debris to a biomass plant and Montana State University Extension Forestry Specialist Peter Kolb who is looking for better management practices: how much feedstock to remove and how much to leave on site for the health of the forest. Kolb is hopeful that the grants will have a positive impact on his research and the industry as a whole, saying, “The potential outcomes from the BANR grant could help our wood products infrastructure remain competitive on a world market and help conserve Montana forests by providing an economically viable means of minimizing the climate change-induced effects such as massive wildfires, insect outbreaks that can result in an overall loss of forested landscapes, quality watersheds and conversion from forests to shrubfields and grasslands.” Similar to BANR, in the Pacific Northwest, a group of universities, government and private labs led by Washington State University, called the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA), received $40 million in grant money from the Department of Agriculture in 2011. NARA’s main focus is developing an aviation caliber fuel derived from wood and wood waste. As a side to the jet fuel, NARA is also looking at developing new energy crops. But what some are unaware of is the presence of biomass boilers at colleges and universities around the country. While not exactly a secret either, these boilers have been around for decades and more than 40 are in operation, according to a University of Ten-
nessee database sponsored by the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, Wood2Energy.

These three improvements result in energy savings of 5-10%, production increases and quality improvements by eliminating over and under-dried biomass.

29 ➤ cost of natural gas.” The system burns cedar chips mixed two to one with slash white pine: consumption is about 70 tons a day in the winter and up to 100 tons a day in the dead of winter. Since Idaho enjoys a fairly dry climate, feedstock is stored in an open, off-campus stockpile, though a covered storage shed has recently been built to guard against rain. Vermont’s Middlebury College operates a boiler with an annual capacity of 8.8 MW, installed in 2008, because of the college’s desire to neutralize its carbon footprint. The historic Northeastern college, known for being a strong liberal arts school, put in the boiler hoping to also help stimulate the local wood chip market. Middlebury originally planned to award a single contract for a nearby feedstock supplier, but was unsuccessful. Instead the college contracts with a New Hampshire wood broker with the stipulation that fuel wood is trucked from no more than a 75 mile radius of campus and the storage facility is no more than 25 miles away. Among the first colleges and universities to use a biomass boiler, Chadron State College in Nebraska installed its 6 MW facility in 1991 after a major forest fire ravaged Nebraska in 1989. The fire highlighted the area’s poorly managed timberlands and the opportunity to take the wood from fire-reduction thinning and burn it in biomass energy plants. Chadron State’s fuel wood still comes from logging waste and fire-reduction thinning 23 years later. When first installed, the college’s Hurst biomass burning system cost about $1 million and was added on to an existing natural gas boiler building. In the 23 years since firing up, the college has made about $1.3 million in efficiency upgrades to the system according to the Nebraska Forest Service. More recently, the University of Missouri started up a massive biomass gasification boiler system to replace
some of its coal usage at its existing 66 MW power plant. The $75 project included expansion of the boiler house, restoration of two 325 ft. tall concrete chimneys and replacement of the plant’s fuel unloading, handling and storage system. The burner is expected to consume 100,000 tons of biomass annually. University of Missouri’s combined heat and power (CHP) plant supplies electricity, heating and cooling for more than 15 million gross square feet of buildings, including three hospitals, a research reactor, several research facilities and laboratories, academic and administrative buildings, residential halls and athletic facilities.
Boiler Failures
Boiler installations on campus have not all been successful. The most notable failure was at the University of South Carolina. In 2006, a $20 million project was designed and built to supply 85% of the power needed for the main campus of the university and to save the university $2.1 million a year using biomass. However, the plant had issues from the beginning, including that the supplier apparently bit off more than it could chew. A string of accidents caused the plant to shut down more than it was actually online. According to a document obtained by The State newspaper, the plant only provided steam on 98 out of 534 days in one two-year period. The final nail in the coffin that was the biomass plant came in June 2009 when an explosion inside the boiler building sent a metal panel 60 feet toward the control room. No one was hurt. The plant didn’t officially close until late 2010 and in October 2013 the University of South Carolina reached a $24 million settlement with the supplier regarding the failed project. The agreement calls for the supplier to pay the university the remaining $14.4 million owed on the original $19.1 million plant cost as well as giving the university the building back and removing all biomass equipment. The failure of the project reached all the way to Montana, where in October 2011 the University of Montana was gearing up to install a $16 million biomass gasification system, but then became rattled that its new boiler system would encompass some supplier and parts similarities as the South Carolina project. By early December 2011, University of Montana officials had suspended the project indefinitely with the university president citing fuel supply, financial viability, an increase in pollution and the lack of positive Kolb's research aims to look at ways slash can be effectively managed for conversion public opinion among the reasons to biofuel.

Rentech Reports Pellet Plants Progressing D. Hunt Ramsbottom, president and CEO of Rentech, commented the company is pleased with the performance of its wood fiber processing business, as Fulghum Fibres generates solid gross margins and progress continues on construction of its two wood pellet production facilities. Construction of the Atikokan and Wawa pellet facilities in eastern Ontario commenced in August, and Ramsbottom said they remain on schedule to meet pellet delivery obligations to Ontario Power Generation and UK-based power producer Drax this year. The expected production of the Wawa plant has increased to approximately 450,000 tonnes, with 400,000 tonnes of annual pellet deliveries to Drax, and 50,000 tonnes available for sale to Drax or other customers. The production of the Atikokan facility is now expected to be approximately 100,000 tonnes, which will fulfill the existing contract with OPG for 45,000 tonnes, with the remaining 55,000 tonnes available for sale to OPG or other customers.

Drax Gains Momentum On Biomass Conversion Drax, the UK’s largest power station, is becoming the UK’s largest single renewable electricity generator through the operation of the new biomass facilities launched on the site in December, according to the company. Energy and Climate Change Secretary, the Rt Hon Edward Davey MP, opened new systems to receive, store and distribute sustainable biomass and fully support Drax Power Station’s first converted biomass unit, as well as further units as they are converted. The biomass conversion will ultimately see three of the six generating units at the power station converted to burn sustainable biomass in place of coal. The first unit has been running successfully on sustainable biomass since the beginning of April, with the second planned for next year and the third in 2016. Each converted unit will provide enough renewable electricity to meet needs of more than 1 million homes. Dorothy Thompson, chief executive of Drax, commented, “Today marks the transformation not just of our power station, but of our whole business. The facilities being opened today are a unique feat of engineering and remarkably they have been delivered at an operational power station which the country depends on to deliver 78% of the power we need. “This fundamental change has implications far beyond Drax and even our supply chain. Sustainable biomass has a critical role in the UK’s electricity mix. It is the only renewable which can deliver low carbon electricity on demand, at

Portsmouth Site Celebrates Seventh Year Of Biomass In December Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) celebrated the seventh anniversary of the Northern Wood Power biomass unit at Schiller Station. Northern Wood Power was completed and became operational in December 2006, permanently replacing a 50 MW coal-burning boiler with an environmentallyfriendly system that uses wood chips and other clean, low-grade wood materials for fuel. It has earned state, regional, national and international awards for its innovation and positive environ-
mental changes. “Northern Wood has provided customers with clean energy and tremendous value during its first seven years of commercial operation,” says Bill Smagula, PSNH vice president - Generation. “Its success is a tribute to all the great effort put forth by many PSNH employees and the work of our local foresters.” “For New Hampshire loggers like me, Northern Wood Power has provided a vital, consistent market for our forest product,” notes Jeff Eames, president of Fort Mountain Trucking in Allenstown. Eames was recently named the U.S. Logger of the Year by Timber Harvesting magazine and is a regular supplier of clean wood chips to Northern Wood Power. “It is gratifying to bring this product to market and know that it is helping provide clean energy to New
Hampshire. It has been one reason that we have been able to maintain a vibrant forestry business and to contribute, economically, to the many other businesses that we work with.” Over its first seven years, Northern Wood’s achievements have included: ● More than 2.1 billion kilowatt hours of renewable energy produced and delivered to the market ● More than 3.6 million tons of wood consumed, displacing 1 million tons of coal ● Adding $300 million to the regional economy By utilizing a locally available renewable fuel source, Northern Wood not only lessens New Hampshire’s dependence on fossil fuels but also has served as a new and significant wood chip market for New Hampshire’s forest industry.
