Working Groups: Developing a Prairie Biorefinery Working Group
The objectives of this research project are: (1) develop prairie cord grass as a biomass feedstock; (2) develop pretreatment strategies to biochemically convert cord grass into a biofuel; (3) conduct thermo-economic and environomic analyses of thermochemically converting cord grass into a biofuel; (4) secured grass samples and initiated breeding program. devised model for gas composition and resulting gas temperatures; (5) model can use air, oxygen or stem as gasifying agent; and (6) tested cord grass and switch grass for biochemical pretreatment and conversion and began characterizing the germplasm.
