1 Availability of Biomass Feedstocks in the Appalachian Region Appalachian Woody Biomass to Ethanol Conference Bob Perlack Oak Ridge National Laboratory September 5, 2007 Managed by UT-Battelle
2 Quick review of the Billion-Ton Vision report Overview Updating and extending the results Location of resources (counties and fine-spatial scale) Biorefinery siting and logistics Environmental sustainability Purpose of update Quantify sustainable biomass resources (i.e., tonnages and costs) for production goals of 1, 5, 10, and 20 BGY of cellulosic ethanol by 2012, 2017, and 2030, respectively Grower payments, stumpage costs, production costs Harvest and collection costs Supply curves Feedstock characteristics Development of a GIS-based feedstock atlas Coordinate with Regional Feedstock Partnerships and USDA Feedstock availability in the Appalachian region 2 Managed by UT-Battelle
3 Forest resources Logging residues Biomass feedstock resource base About one-half of the land in the contiguous U.S. Forestland resources: 504 million acres of timberland, 91 million acres of other forestland Agricultural resources: 342 million acres cropland, 39 million acres idle cropland, 68 million acres cropland pasture Forest thinnings (fuel treatments) Fuelwood Primary wood processing mill residues Secondary wood processing mill residues Pulping liquors Urban wood residues Agricultural resources Crop residues Grains to biofuels Perennial grasses Perennial woody crops Animal manures Food/feed processing residues MSW and landfill gases 3 Managed by UT-Battelle
4 Total resource potential Cropland and forestland can provide a sustainable supply and still meet food, feed, and export demands Potential (>1.3 Billion dry tons) is based on reasonable assumptions given trends and deployment time Current consumption is about 190 million dry tons 4 Managed by UT-Battelle
5 What is the U.S. cropland potential? Total cropland resource approaches 1 billion dry tons/year including perennial energy crops (grasses and trees) Yield increase of 25-50% for corn, small grains, 15-30% for other crops Change in tillage practices Residue collection equipment The allocation of active cropland, idle cropland, and pasture to energy crops; million acres Large changes in acreage since BTV 5 Managed by UT-Battelle
6 What is the U.S. forestland potential? A considerable fraction of forest residues are already in use Primary sources only easily exceed 100 million dry tons (logging, other removals, & fuel treatment thinnings) Conservative assumptions based on accessibility and recoverability Relatively low bioenergy to conventional forest products fraction Excludes large pulpwood resource Changing markets (e.g., low-price wood and/or high-price oil) could make much more available for bioenergy Not much change in resource potential estimates with same assumptions 6 Managed by UT-Battelle
7 Crop residues Corn stover $/dry ton Million dry tons/year Current till All no-till Corn stover is the largest single source (~75 to 250 million dry tons/year) Quantity depends on tillage, rotation, yields, acreage Costs depend on collection equipment, removal constraints (tons/ac), landscape factors Current plantings ~92.5 million acres 7 Managed by UT-Battelle
8 Other crop residues (national & regional) Wheat Barley Sorghum Oats Sugarcane Rice 8 Managed by UT-Battelle
9 Where will perennial energy crops compete? Comparison of net returns between conventional crops and perennial crops Areas with high net returns will preclude perennial crop production Net returns over variable costs (~$130 - $330/acre) Consider cropland with lower net returns or hay and pasture land 9 Managed by UT-Battelle
10 Land use change estimation of energy crop potential POLYSYS model (U. of Tennessee) All of the major crops and livestock categories Feed, food, export demands Active cropland, idle cropland & CRP, cropland pasture Divided into 305 geographic districts Includes current commodity policies Anchored to USDA baseline projections Decisions based on relative profitability Development of OBP version Model input assumptions consistent feedstock platform Revised productivity estimates Incorporating forestlands into POLYSYS Joint effort with USDA/FS, ORNL 10 Managed by UT-Battelle
11 Developed new fine-scaled estimates of potential switchgrass productivity More robust statistical models under development Comparisons to be done with process models Extend to woody crops (working with USDA/FS) Multiplicative model estimates yield as the product of estimated maximum yield, Y max and the fractional reduction due to each limiting variable, temperature (T) and precipitation (P) Y ( T ) Y ( P) Yield = Ymax Y ( T ) Y ( P) max max 11 Managed by UT-Battelle
12 Determining the location of biomass resources is important Biorefinery siting and feedstock logistics (supply chains) Environment and long-term sustainability concerns (e.g., water availability) 12 Managed by UT-Battelle

17 Oak Ridge Integrated Biomass Analysis System (ORIBAS) Combine spatial estimates of feedstock supplies with transportation networks to estimate optimal locations of biorefineries Biorefineries are located based on minimizing feedstock supply cost C s = C p + C t C p : Production cost cost of growing and delivering feedstock to farm gate C t : Transportation cost cost of moving feedstock from farm gate to biorefinery Can also estimate cost and associated feedstock supply to biorefineries at specified locations 17 Managed by UT-Battelle
18 Supply Oak Ridge Integrated Biomass Analysis System (ORIBAS) Feedstock(s): crop residues, herbaceous crops, short rotation woody crops, forest residues, mill residues, urban waste Assign supply to land use Supply scenario Transportation factors Pixel-to-node speed Node-to-node costs: constant, distance, and time Travel speeds for each road type Conversion facilities Capacity Possible locations: all nodes or selected subset 18 Managed by UT-Battelle
