CenUSA Bioenergy
Objective 3. Logistics
The Logistics research team will develop systems and strategies to enable sustainable and economic harvest, transportation, and storage of feedstocks to meet the needs of industry. The team will focus on the development and evaluation of harvest and logistics systems that are easily adaptable, produce consistent and quality feedstock for conversion, and are economically, energetically, and environmentally efficient and sustainable.
The team will also investigate novel harvest and transport systems, demonstrate these systems at field-scale, and evaluate harvest and supply chain costs. In addition, we will evaluate technologies for more efficient de-construction and drying of feedstocks.
