Biomass
Coordinating Council
(BCC)
With Biomass Producing Biofuels,
Biopower, and Biobased Products
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
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
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
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.
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
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
