Feedstock Logistics for Biorefineries Conference: AIChE Annual MeetingYear: 2018Proceeding: 2018 AIChE Annual MeetingGroup: Sustainable Engineering Forum Type: Oral Room: 316 Location: David L. Lawrence Convention Center Time: Sunday, October 28, 2018 - 3:30pm-6:00pm Chair(s):Thompson, V. S., Idaho National Laboratory Co-chair(s):Dou, C., University of Washington 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.
