Assessment of Production and Transportation Practices for Sweet Sorghum
| 项目名称： | Assessment of Production and Transportation Practices for Sweet Sorghum |
| 摘要： | The desired short term benchmarks/outcomes of this project are to: (1) Demonstrate the maximal amount of sugar that can be produced assessed through multiple crop production sequencing; (2) Select appropriate cultivars to utilize in this sequencing in the semi arid Southwest; (3) Minimize or avoid the addition of preservatives to the juice while assuring high ethanol productivity; (4) Complete mass (water and nutrients), and energy balances for growth and production of sweet sorghum in arid climates; (5) Update 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 by aiding in updating standard operating procedures for dual feedstock facilities. The long term outcomes are to: (1) Provide best cultivation practices to and discuss market potential of growing sweet sorghum with Tribal nations and regional farmers; (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 that operate in a sustainable manner in the Southwestern United States (SW). |
