Exploring Field Crop Biomass Sources for Use in Pacific Ethanol's Boardman Oregon Cellulosic Ethanol Plant

项目名称：	Exploring Field Crop Biomass Sources for Use in Pacific Ethanol's Boardman Oregon Cellulosic Ethanol Plant
摘要：	Short term outcomes will include the following: (1) assessment of the economic viability of delivering existing feed stocks from irrigated acreages to the facility in Boardman; (2) an assessment of the possibility for relay crop production to provide additional biomass from existing irrigated acreage; (3) an assessment of production efficiencies in relation to water and fertilizer use; and (4) an assessment of the potential for dryland acreage and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acreage to be a biomass source. If successful, the project will result in these longer-term outcomes: (1) identification of best choices for biomass crops in irrigated regions across the west that have environmental conditions similar to those in the mid-Columbia; (2) identification of general geographic information system (GIS) procedures that can be used to assess the economic viability of moving biomass material to a specific location given existing roads, fuel costs to gather and move materials, and stated feedstock values; and (3) increased acreages of feedstocks.
