Book Description
The biomass based energy sector, especially the one based on lignocellulosic sources such as switchgrass Miscanthus, forest residues and short rotation coppice, will play an important role in our drive towards renewable energy. The biomass feedstock production (BFP) subsystem provides the necessary material inputs to the conversion processes for energy production. This subsystem includes the agronomic production of energy crops and the physical handling and delivery of biomass, as well as other enabling logistics. Achieving a sustainable BFP system is therefore paramount for the success of the emerging bioenergy sector. However, low bulk and energy densities, seasonal and weather sensitive availability, distributed supply and lack of commercial scale production experience create unique challenges. Moreover, novel region specific feedstock alternatives continue to emerge. Engineering will play a critical role in addressing these challenges and ensuring the techno-economic feasibility of this sector. It must also integrate with the biological, physical and chemical sciences and incorporate externalities, such as social/economic considerations, environmental impact and policy/regulatory issues, to achieve a truly sustainable system. Tremendous progress has been made in the past few years while new challenges have simultaneously emerged that need further investigation. It is therefore prudent at this time to review the current status and capture the future challenges through a comprehensive book. This work will serve as an authoritative treatise on the topic that can help researchers, educators and students interested in the field of biomass feedstock production, with particular interest in the engineering aspects.
Development of Corn Stover Harvesting and Densification Systems

Book Description
In 2000, 245 million tons of corn was produced within the United States. For every pound of corn produced, a pound of corn stover, the leaves, stalks, cobs, and husks, are also produced. New interests have emerged for the many uses of corn stover. Baling the stover has been the traditional method for the collection of stover after the grain has been harvested. However, to collect corn stover on a large scale, improved methods for the harvest and densification have become necessary. Some new methods that have been developed include a full-scale combine harvester coupled with a self-powered stacker that have the ability to harvest the whole plant and simultaneously separate the stover and grain in a one pass operation through the field. The stacker also increased the density of the stover load for a more cost effective means of transportation. Also coupled with a full-scale harvester was a "stover caddy" that would also collect the stover from the rear of the combine and blow it into a wagon pulled along side the harvester. Both methods provided for dirt free collection of the stover in a one-pass field operation. The calculated costs for the new methods of stover were also examined.
