Sustainable Production and Distribution of Bioenergy for the Central USA

CenUSA Bioenergy

Objective 7. Health and Safety

Bioenergy feedstock production will have inherent differences from current agricultural processes. These differences could increase the potential for workforce injury or death if not properly understood and if effective protective counter measures are not in place.

The Health and Safety research team proposes to address two key elements of the biofuel feedstock supply chain:

  • The risks associated with producing feedstocks
  • Air/dust exposure
