Effects of Biosolids Application and Harvest Frequency on Switchgrass Yield, Feedstock Quality, and Theoretical Ethanol Yield
… on biomass yield, nitrogen (N) concentration, feedstock quality and theoretical ethanol yield (TEY) are rarely reported in the literature. The objectives of this research were: 1) to compare the effects of biosolids application on biomass yield, N concentration, feedstock quality and TEY, and …

Productivity, physiology, community dynamics, and ecological impacts of a grassland agro-ecosystem: integrating field studies and ecosystem modeling
… production cycle. Due to the biomass quantity-quality trade-off, the balance among yield, biomass quality, and impacts on environment needs to be carefully considered when harvesting prairie mixtures. Allowing grasses to completely senesce and recycle nutrients can reduce fertilizer …

Development of prairie cordgrass (spartina pectinata link) as a dedicated bioenergy crop
… population, was evaluated for biomass yield and feedstock quality in response to seeding rate, row spacing, and nitrogen fertilization. Based on the results of four years’ evaluation, ‘Savoy’ prairie cordgrass can be successfully established in 76-cm rows spacing with a seeding rate of 162 PLS …

Studies on the deactivation and reactivation of spent hydroprocessing catalyst
… was significant. Both catalyst acidity and feedstock quality had a remarkable influence on the amount and the nature of the initial coke. The hydroenitrogenation function (HDN) of the catalyst was found to be deactivated more rapidly by the initial coke than the hydrodesulphurization …

A Comprehensive Analysis of Rust Disease Resistance in the Bioenergy Plant Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
… programs is to develop cultivars with improved feedstock quality; however, changes in the components of the plant cell wall may affect disease resistance. I hypothesized that genetically modified switchgrass plants with altered cell wall components will respond differently than the wild-type to …

Yield and quality of cool-season perennial grasses for forage and biomass feedstocks in Northeast Colorado
… is one identified route to increasing bio-fuel feedstock quality. These qualities produced in C3 grasses could create a dual feedstock for both animal and bio-fuel production. This may even decrease competition for land resources between livestock producers and bio-energy crop production. …

Fodder legumes for Green Biorefineries
… my doctoral thesis is to analyse the sustainable feedstock supply for biorefineries. In contrast to most studies on biorefineries, I focus on the sustainable provision of feedstock and not on the bioengineering processing of whatever feedstock is available. Grasslands provide a high biomass …

The higher productivity of the bioenergy feedstock Miscanthus x giganteus relative to Panicum virgatum is seen both into the long term and beyond Illinois
… productivity and sustainability of potential feedstocks in time and space is critical. Two C4 perennial grasses, Miscanthus x giganteus and Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), have both been promoted as productive low-input and sustainable feedstocks for the U.S. Comparative information on yield, …
