Biomass-Powered Corn Ethanol:An Evolution towards Higher Performance Biofuels  William A. Lee Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company Minnesota NextGen Board Biomass Energy at CVEC: A Co-Development Partnership with Frontline BioEnergy, LLC Our goals are to: Integrate biomass gasification systems to displace 90% of our natural gas energy inputs Work with other stakeholders to develop feedstock systems that are Reliable, Economical and Sustainable CVEC Ethanol Plant – Benson, MN Frontline BioEnergy, LLC – Ames, Iowa Project Specifications Phase One Gasifier – 50 to 75 tpd (approx. 25% natural gas displacement) Robust BFB configuration Design for pressure operation – 0 to 50 psig Flexible Fuel Capabilities Multi-fuel burner retro-fit for steam generation Phase Two – additional gas cleaning unit Phase Three – upgrading the P1 system or installation of a second unit for full-plant capacity Strategic Drivers for CVEC Natural Gas costs and future expectations Probability of Carbon Monetization in US Integrate a robust new processing unit into our renewable energy operation Participate in technology ownership Natural Gas Price Trends Biomass Feedstocks: Developing “From-the-Ground-Up” Systems: In 2007, the Minnesota Biomass Stakeholder Group convened to begin addressing the issues of biomass harvesting and supply logistics This group includes the University of Minnesota, AURI, Great Plains Institute, ARS and NRCS Soils Laboratories, CVEC and CVEC farmer members, CMEC and other MN ethanol producers Feedstock must be Reliable, Economic and Sustainable Until Biomass Markets develop, Reliability means Feedstock Diversity: Our Gasifier is designed to be Fuel Flexible - capable of utilizing: Wood chips, sawdust, clean wood waste Corn stover, soybean stubble, wheat straw Prairie grasses DDGS and other grain processing co-products Feedstock must be Reliable, Economic and SustainableTo make Biomass more economically viable, we need more research and mo
