Biomass supply chain innovation: A case study

Author: Jackson, Sam

An efficient and optimized feedstock solution requires tight integration of all elements of the biomass supply chain.Genera Energy has focused on developing front to back, integrated supply chain solutions to benefit the entire biobased industry.The company works to optimize crop portfolio selection and production as well as downstream operations including harvesting, logistics, storage, and preprocessing.Through continuous innovation, Genera has developed industry leading best practices for feedstock logistics.Selecting, producing, and harvesting a type of biomass crop or residue is a complex operation and should be given due diligence in any supply chain.Genera has developed innovative and practical agronomic systems to produce a wide array of energy crops.However, post-harvest activities are often an undervalued part of the feedstock supply chain.Once biomass is harvested, the biomass supply chain becomes a unique inventory management system.This system includes the management of equipment, capital and labor requirements associated with storage and transportation; timing and quality management in storage; managing and scheduling pickup, as well as transport and delivery logistics.All feedstocks are subject to phys. material and quality losses which inevitably leads to economic losses.Paying close attention to the key contributors of material loss as well as other inefficiencies in the supply chain will make sure that your inventory management does not neg. contribute to the bottom line.Inventory management is followed by feedstock preprocessing.Variable crops from the field must be converted into uniform format feedstocks.Preprocessing is driven by three primary feedstock characteristics: moisture, bulk d., and flowability.Feedstock quality management is critical to achieve maximum throughput of grinding equipment and to reduce energy consumption.Genera Energy and its partners at its Biomass Innovation Park, have developed systems that allow for flexibility in feedstock characteristics during processing while delivering a uniform product to the customer.Addressing these issues is a very critical component to successfully processing biomass.
