Biomass Coordinating Council
(BCC)
OVER THE TOP

• With Biomass Producing Biofuels, Biopower, and
  Biobased Products

2
Biomass Resources are Available From

• Agriculture and Forestry Crops and Residues
• Rights-of-Way, Parks, Yard and Garden Trimmings
• The Biomass Fraction of Municipal Waste
• Animal and Human Wastes
• Aquatic Sources Including Algae
• Essentially an Inexhaustible Supply

3
Biomass Resources Are Producing

• Biofuels Including, Ethanol, Methanol, Other
  Alcohols, Biodiesel, BioOils, Biogas, Landfill
  Gas and Renewable Hydrogen
• Electricity, Cogenerated and Stand Alone Thermal
  Energy
• Biobased Chemicals and Biobased Products
  Essentially, Anything Not Made Out of Glass or
  Minerals Can be Made From Biomass

The Carbohydrate/Biobased Economy is Delivering

• Fossil Replacements
• National, Energy and Homeland Security
• Environmental Pollution Prevention
• Air, Water, Soil Public Health
• Greenhouse Gases Climate Stabilization
• Rural Economic Development
• New Basic Industries and Quality Jobs
• Bridges Between Urban and Rural Americans

Biomass and Bioenergy The Rising Powerhouse

• World-Wide Creativity is Generating New Science
  and Technology to Meet the Potential of the
  Biorefinery Concept.
• This Rapidly Rising Productivity Will Work
  Cooperatively With Energy Efficiency, the Other
  Renewable Energy Technologies and the Fossil
  Energy Industries.
• Together, They Will Meet International Energy
  Needs While Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions,
  Improving the Overall Environment and Generating
  New Basic Industries and Jobs.

Biomass -- All Systems Go

• Bioethanol 3.5 Billion Gallons, 19/yr increase
  over past three years
• Biodiesel 45 million Gallons, 22/yr increase
  over past three years
• Landfill and anaerobic digester gas rising too
  fast to keep up with the growth
• Biomethanol coming on strong

7
All Systems GO (Cont.)

• Biooils gaining momentum
• Biopower, 1.8 of nations electricity capacity
  and gaining
• Biobased products, 250 million and growing
  rapidly
• 28 Emerging technologies and advances in
  commercial operations opportunities for
  nanotechnologies
