  1. Biomass Coordinating Council (BCC) OVER THE TOP With Biomass Producing Biofuels, Biopower, and Biobased Products

  2. Biomass Resources are Available From: • Agriculture and Forestry Crops and Residues • Rights-of-Way, Parks, Yard and Garden Trimmings • The Biomass Fraction of Municipal Waste • Animal and Human Wastes • Aquatic Sources Including Algae Essentially an Inexhaustible Supply

  3. Biomass Resources Are Producing • Biofuels Including, Ethanol, Methanol, Other Alcohols, Biodiesel, BioOils, Biogas, Landfill Gas and Renewable Hydrogen • Electricity, Cogenerated and Stand Alone Thermal Energy • Biobased Chemicals and Biobased Products – Essentially, Anything Not Made Out of Glass or Minerals Can be Made From Biomass

  4. The Carbohydrate/Biobased Economy is Delivering • Fossil Replacements • National, Energy and Homeland Security • Environmental Pollution Prevention • Air, Water, Soil Public Health • Greenhouse Gases Climate Stabilization • Rural Economic Development • New Basic Industries and Quality Jobs • Bridges Between Urban and Rural Americans

  5. Biomass and Bioenergy – The Rising Powerhouse • World-Wide Creativity is Generating New Science and Technology to Meet the Potential of the Biorefinery Concept. • This Rapidly Rising Productivity Will Work Cooperatively With Energy Efficiency, the Other Renewable Energy Technologies and the Fossil Energy Industries. • Together, They Will Meet International Energy Needs While Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Improving the Overall Environment and Generating New Basic Industries and Jobs.

  6. Biomass -- All Systems Go • Bioethanol – 3.5 Billion Gallons, 19%/yr increase over past three years • Biodiesel – 45 million Gallons, 22%/yr increase over past three years • Landfill and anaerobic digester gas rising too fast to keep up with the growth • Biomethanol coming on strong

  7. All Systems GO (Cont.) • Biooils gaining momentum • Biopower, 1.8% of nations electricity capacity and gaining • Biobased products, $250 million and growing rapidly • 28 Emerging technologies and advances in commercial operations – opportunities for nanotechnologies
