| Short Description |
Organic Waste to Resources Research and Pilot Project Report. In this project we optimized parameters of pretreatment for four different lignocellulosic feedstocks that are prevalent in Washington State. Barley and wheat straw were two feedstocks studied as they account for 80% of the 1.9 million dry tons/year of crop residue biomass produced in the state. Since forestry residue accounts for 48% of the 16.4 million dry tons/year of total biomass available in Washington State, hard and soft wood were also tested as feedstocks. The results of this project can be used as reference in the development of a commercially available cellulosic ethanol industry in the state. (Also see abstract below) | |
