the Flambeau River BioRefinery in Wisconsin, is a leading expert in
biorefineries and a respected former executive of several major paper
and engineering companies. Ben is a TAPPI fellow, holds several
patents, and serves on the boards of three companies and three
non-profits. <br>
<br>
ABSTRACT: <br>
The technology is here for liquid biofuels to supplement
petroleum-based transportation fuels. In the U.S., the predominant
“first generation” biofuel is ethanol derived from corn, followed by
ethanol derived from hemicellulose at sulfite pulp mills and biodiesel
derived from vegetable oil or animal fat. “Second generation” fuels
include renewable gasoline and diesel, cellulosic ethanol and fuel
feedstock made from catalytic reactions (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch). <br>
<br>
The U.S. has established renewable fuel standards that go well beyond
the capability of corn-based ethanol. Many analysts forecast the need
for “second generation” biofuels to meet demands. Commercial activities
show that renewable fuels can be cost-effectively produced on a
commercial scale. <br>
<br>
The forest products industry has the commercial skills and resources
critical to this emerging industry, and is on the verge of awakening to
the opportunities. What remains is to sort out real opportunity from
volumes of information containing far too much hope and hype. <br>
<br>
Topics to be covered include: <br>
<br>
• Current process pathways to produce “second generation” biofuels,
including a comparison of thermal and enzymatic pathways to convert
cellulose to fuel. <br>
• A summary of commercial North American activities in “second
generation” biofuels and the biorefinery. <br>
• An understanding of technical and commercial activities used to
predict both short-term and long-term winning approaches. <br>
• A compelling case for an integrated forest biorefinery. <br>
• A review of the environmental and economic benefits of integrated
forest biorefineries, including the significant extension of mill life
that is possible. <br>
