“…Schechinger and Hettenhaus reported collection efficiencies of 40% to 50% without raking and 70% with raking in large-scale stover collection operations in Nebraska and Wisconsin [27]. Lindstrom suggested that a 30% removal rate would not significantly increase soil loss [28]. Papendick et al later shows that a 30% removal rate results in 93% soil cover after residue harvest [29].…”

An advanced biofuels supply chain is proposed to reduce biomass transportation costs and take advantage of the economics of scale for a gasification facility. In this supply chain, biomass is converted to bio-oil at widely distributed small-scale fast pyrolysis plants, and after bio-oil gasification, the syngas is upgraded to transportation fuels at a centralized biorefinery. A two-stage stochastic programming is formulated to maximize biofuel producers' annual profit considering uncertainties in the supply chain for this pathway. The first stage makes the capital investment decisions including the locations and capacities of the decentralized fast pyrolysis plants as well as the centralized biorefinery, while the second stage determines the biomass and biofuels flows. A case study based on Iowa in the U.S. illustrates that it is economically feasible to meet desired demand using corn stover as the biomass feedstock. The results show that the locations of fast pyrolysis plants are sensitive to uncertainties while the capacity levels are insensitive. The stochastic model outperforms the deterministic model in the stochastic environment, especially when there is insufficient biomass. Also, farmers' participation can have a significant impact on the profitability and robustness of this supply chain.

“…On 8.5% slope fields from SW Finland, annual soil losses by erosion are 5-6 t·ha -1 and leached nitrogen and phosphorus amounts are 15.0 and 1.1 kg·ha -1 ·year -1 , respectively (Muukkonen et al, 2007). The investigations conducted in Minnesota, USA, have shown that 927, 1853 and 3706 kg·ha -1 ·year -1 of crop residues, applied in maize crops, have decreased soil erosion until 6.177, 1.730 and 0.988 t·ha -1 respectively, and water runoff until 35.6, 25.4 and 22.9 mm, respectively (Lindstrom, 1986). The results concerning erosion in the Coshocton, USA, showed that in the areas annual mean soil losses by erosion were 1.18 t·ha -1 (range, 0.35 t·ha -1 in wheat and 7.36 t·ha -1 in maize) (Izaurralde et al, 2007).…”

“…If the yield of corn is low and no-till is not used, then all crop residues must be left in the field (Wilhelm et al 2007). If no-till cultivation (growing crops without tillage) is used, 30% of crop residues can be harvested without danger of increased soil erosion (Lindstrom 1986, Andrews 2006). On average, only about 30% of the corn crop residues can be sustainably collected in the USA for bioenergy or other uses without endangering soil fertility (Graham et al 2007).…”

Current (1997Current ( -2006 and future (2050) global field biomass bioenergy potential was estimated based on FAO (2009) production statistics and estimations of climate change impacts on agriculture according to emission scenario B1 of IPCC. The annual energy potential of raw biomass obtained from crop residues and bioenergy crops cultivated in fields set aside from food production is at present 122-133 EJ, 86-93 EJ or 47-50 EJ, when a vegetarian, moderate or affluent diet is followed, respectively. In 2050, with changes in climate and increases in population, field bioenergy production potential could be 101-110 EJ, 57-61 EJ and 44-47 EJ, following equivalent diets. Of the potential field bioenergy production, 39-42 EJ now and 38-41 EJ in 2050 would derive from crop residues. The residue potential depends, however, on local climate, and may be considerably lower than the technically harvestable potential, when soil quality and sustainable development are considered. Arable land could be used for bioenergy crops, particularly in Australia, South and Central America and the USA. If crop production technology was improved in areas where environmental conditions allow more efficient food production, such as the former Soviet Union, large areas in Europe could also produce bioenergy in set aside fields. The realistic potential and sustainability of field bioenergy production are discussed.
