Arid Land Development of Sweet Sorghum as a Renewable Feedstock
| 项目名称： | Arid Land Development of Sweet Sorghum as a Renewable Feedstock |
| 摘要： | The desired short term benchmarks/outcomes of this project are to: (1) Demonstrate the feasibility of using tertiary-treated sewage effluent for irrigation; (2) Determine which sorghum line should be utilized in arid Southwest; (3) Improve stabilization of sweet sorghum juice as a feedstock for ethanol production; (4) Complete mass (water and nutrients), and energy balances for growth and production of sweet sorghum in arid climates; (5) Derive preliminary estimates of costs and returns of using sweet sorghum to produce ethanol; (6) Improve the efficiency of juice fermentation; and (7) Transfer technology to Pinal Energy The long term outcomes are to: (1) Work with advisory board to prioritize feedstocks for arid Southwestern US; (2) Evaluate scale up to full production size at a commercial ethanol plant; (3) Identify which phases of the production process have the greatest scope for cost reductions; and (4) Determine economic feasibility of additional production facilities in the Southwestern United States (SW). |
