1 Bioenergy & Biofuels in the Northwest: Multiple Research & Technology Transfer Efforts David Sjoding Renewable Energy Specialist October 10, 2012 ASERTTI 2012 Fall Meeting
2 Biofuels: A Very Strong Full Court Press with State Legislation Aviation biofuel 2011 & 2012 legislation in WA University of Washington $40 million multi-state research effort Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest Focus on hybrid poplar as feedstock Washington State University - $40 million multi-state research effort Focus on woody biomass - Northern climate oilseed crops Canola, camelina etc. WSU Biofuels Cropping Systems University of Idaho Brassica Breeding & Research Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Very extensive effort in biofuels Number/B3105?opendocument
3 Biochar research Areas of focus Engineered biochar Focus of WSU Markets: Bioremediation, Farm, Forest, & Garden Three recent biochar & advanced biofuels reports: 1) Biochar and Advanced Biofuels using Pyrolysis Reactors; 2) Biomass Supply Chain and Preprocessing Technologies From Field to Pyrolysis Reactor; and 3) Technologies for Product Collection and Refining Oregon BEST Torrified Biomass to offset coal working with HM3 Building Northwest Biochar Markets Collaborative
4 Bioproducts & Cross Cutting Renewable natural gas for transportation analysis for project development Densified biomass/wood pellets - Statewide business development feasibility study funded - $75,000 Idaho National Laboratory Major focus on harvesting & transportation of biomass Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Very extensive effort in biofuels Oregon has a Biomass Producer or Collector Tax Credit Bioenergy research: Major laboratory buildouts Strong state funded research
5 Woody biomass feedstock competition Woody biomass is a feedstock for a wide variety of bioenergy/biobased products Assessments needed Engineered biochar Carbon sequestration, soil health & environmental remediation Pellets Regional or export markets Biomass CHP - Supports existing mills, high efficiency Biofuels Cellulosic or drop-in advanced biofuel Biobased chemicals offsetting the petrochemical industry
6 Biomass Inventory and Bioenergy Assessment An Evaluation of Organic Material Resources for Bioenergy Production in Washington State December 2005
7 Waste Characterization 68%
8 Pacific Region A six state-based team of AK, HI, ID, MT, OR & WA Significant biennial state funds (both program development & research) Functions as a team since 1982 Taken together: A Complete Program Near, mid and long term research; development; demonstration; project deployment; policy analysis & legislation; information; outreach The Northwest states cross-talk a lot & compare notes

10 Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solutions represent a proven and effective near-term energy option to help the United States enhance energy efficiency, ensure environmental quality, promote economic growth, and foster a robust energy infrastructure. The U.S. DOE National CHP Roadmap, a culmination of state, regional, national, and international efforts, states that increased regional CHP outreach and assistance could help increase the deployment of CHP opportunities in the United States. In response to the National CHP Roadmap, DOE established a network of Regional Clean Energy Application Centers (CEACs), formerly called the CHP Regional Application Centers (RACs). DOE's Regional Clean Energy Application Centers promote and assist in transforming the market for combined heat and power, waste heat recovery, and district energy technologies and concepts throughout the United States. Key services of the CEACs include: Ÿ Market Assessments Supporting analyses of CHP market potential in diverse sectors, such as health care, industrial sites, hotels, and new commercial and institutional buildings. Ÿ Education and Outreach Providing information on the benefits and applications of CHP to state and local policy makers, regulators, energy end-users, trade associations and others. Ÿ Technical Assistance Providing technical information to energy end-users and others to help them consider if CHP, waste heat recovery or district energy makes sense for them. This includes performing site assessments, producing project feasibility studies, and providing technical and financial analyses. For more information on the DOE Clean Energy Application Centers, visit: or visit the individual DOE CEAC web sites directly for details on the services provided and upcoming events.

12 Northwest Target Markets Biomass CHP Linked to forest health issues Pulp & paper Forest products Anaerobic digestion Linked to water quality & waste to resources Dairies - Includes co-digestion with nitrogen and phosphorous recovery Wastewater Treatment Facilities Medium & high solids: Food processing, compost facilities
13 Commercialization of Newer Technologies & Practices Biomass CHP: Expanding the woodshed for CHP systems What to do with the slash piles? Chip vans on log truck frames with rear steering new commercial Knives not knuckles on wood grinders - Commercial Anaerobic digestion CHP: Expanding the revenue streams - $12 million in research at WSU Nitrogen & phosphorous: Bubble air through the mixture - Commercial Co-digestion - Commercial Medium and high solids digestion Commercial ready
14 Environmental concerns, benefits & permits: Biomass CHP Logging slash: Typically burned or left to rot (pile goes anaerobic) Is slash a solid waste? Key permit ruling: No, it is taxed in Washington as a product; Therefore, biomass CHP systems are not subject to CISWI Many court rulings Are we doing this sustainably? This is wood waste, not logging whole trees for standalone biopower - Biomass is subject to the forest practices act in Washington Forest health: Very serious though out western U.S. An economic base is needed to expedite forest health treatments
