A Data-Driven Framework for Predicting the Sorting and Screening Performance of an Integrated Biomass Feedstock Preprocessing System
The characteristics of mechanically sorted and screened lignocellulosic biomass, such as the mass contents of corn stover anatomical fractions (leaves, husks, stalks, cobs, etc.), can be used to calculate the intermediate feedstock quality attributes “yield” and “purity” that indicate the conversion efficiency of biocrude. No prior study has investigated the correlations from the characteristics of raw biomass and preprocessing unit operation parameters to those intermediate feedstock quality attributes. This work presents a data-driven framework for assessing and predicting the intermediate feedstock quality attributes in an integrated biomass feedstock preprocessing system. Our study used corn stover as a typical type of herbaceous biomass because of its abundance in the U.S. It began with data acquisition of moisture content, particle size distribution, and anatomical fractions of the materials after each unit operation in the system. The objective of this preprocessing system is to minimize husks and leaves and maximizing cobs and stalks by mechanically separating the materials into three streams via disc screen and air separator. Prototype neural network models were then developed to evaluate the feasibility of predicting process outcomes based on measurable parameters. It is found that incorporating physical constraints into these prediction models significantly enhances the accuracy of the predicted yield and purity against the ground truth data. The experimental data and model predictions indicate that decreasing throughput increases purity, while higher throughput results in lower purity. Finally, an optimization problem was introduced to search optimal combinations of feed material properties and preprocessing unit operation parameters, as the intermediate feedstock quality attributes – yield and purity, appeared to be competing factors. The study also suggests the continual need to improve the data-driven framework’s predictability by incorporating more accurate physical models to describe the dynamics in the preprocessing units such as the air separator.

Distillable amine-based solvents for effective pretreatment of multiple biomass feedstocks
Exploring the potential of advanced distillable solvents as efficient biomass pretreatment agents is critical for biorefineries, enhancing fermentable sugar yields while enabling solvent recovery and recycling without suffering significant losses. Here, we employ distillable amine-based solvents for pretreating a wide range of lignocellulosic feedstocks, aiming to facilitate the industrial release of fermentable sugars from diverse feedstocks through enzymatic hydrolysis. Twenty-two diverse feedstocks, sourced from different geographical regions and representing various biomass categories, were surveyed for chemical (mainly carbohydrates and lignin) and lignin (S, G, and H units) profiles. Several solvents, including ethanolamine, ethanolammonium acetate, butylamine, butylammonium acetate, and triethylamine, were tested for the pretreatment of eight selected biomasses. Among these solvents, butylamine emerged as the most effective due to its favorable sugar release, excellent solvent removal rate, and low boiling point, facilitating solvent recovery and recycling. Extending butylamine pretreatment to all 22 feedstocks demonstrated desirable sugar yields and highly efficient solvent removal in the majority of the biomass sources tested. Agricultural residues and their mixtures showed particularly favorable sugar release. Despite minimal changes in cellulose crystallinity, XRD characterization of sorghum, poplar, and pine before and after butylamine pretreatment showed a decrease in intensity and a slight shift of certain peaks, indicating alterations in cellulose structure. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis analyses suggested disruption of biomass linkages in hemicellulose and lignin, enhancing enzymatic digestibility. Scale-up experiments of the mixed agricultural feedstocks in a 1 L Parr reactor achieved over 90% glucose liberation and more than 99% butylamine removal, highlighting the scalability of the method. The resulting hydrolysates supported the growth of diverse bacterial and fungal strains, indicating downstream compatibility with commercial fermentation processes. This study presents butylamine as an effective, recoverable pretreatment solvent for a wide range of lignocellulosic feedstocks, offering a promising solution to key biorefinery challenges. The demonstrated scalability and compatibility with various biomass types and blends underscore its potential for industrial application, advancing sustainable biofuel and biochemical production.

A High-Performance Discrete-Element Framework for Simulating Flow and Jamming of Moisture Bearing Biomass Feedstocks
We developed and verified a high-performance open-source discrete element method (DEM) solver with simultaneously-supported feedstock-specific interaction models, including bonded-sphere, liquid bridge, cohesion, and non-linear contact models. Our solver uses parallel data structures on hybrid central and graphics processing unit (CPU/GPU) architectures, with favorable strong scaling performance observed for large problem sizes comprised of (100 M particles), and 4X single-node GPU speedup. The particles for corn stover feedstock were conceptualized and calibrated based on experimental measurements and results. Sensitivity analyses demonstrate that the mass flow rate from a wedge hopper is governed primarily by moisture content, friction coefficient, and cohesion energy density. The model is used to reproduce experimentally observed hopper jamming results, highlighting that the experimental no-flow trends can only be achieved by using non-spherical particles, liquid bridge and cohesion models, highlighting the importance of using concurrent feedstock specialized models for the effective representation of biomass material handling problems.

Impacts of Biomass Feedstock Pre-Processing on Heat and Mass Transfer During Pyrolysis Using X-Ray Computed Tomography and Multiscale Modeling
Knowledge of the transport properties of biomass particles such as porosity, tortuosity, and permeability is paramount for high-fidelity modeling of biomass pyrolysis due to the heat and mass transfer limitations imposed by particle microstructure. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a non-destructive imaging method that enables full 3D reconstructions of the biomass particle microstructure with high resolution, permitting direct calculation of porosity, tortuosity, and permeability from real particle geometries. In this study, XCT imaging revealed the 3D microstructures of particles and chars from pyrolytic conversion of cylindrically cut or milled/pelletized loblolly pine samples. The porosity, tortuosity, and permeability were calculated directly from the XCT geometries via open-source microstructural analysis tool MATBOX+TauFactor (https://github.com/NREL/MATBOX_Microstructure_analysis_toolbox) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using our solver, Mesoflow (https://github.com/NREL/mesoflow). These properties were used in a reactor scale model developed in COMSOL of the single particle reactor at NREL to investigate the impact of feedstock pre-processing on biomass conversion during pyrolysis with rigorous experimental validation.

Feedstock/Pretreatment Screening for Bioconversion of Sugars and Lignin Residues
This project will conduct biomass deconstruction (pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification) on two representative biomass feedstocks and four different pretreatment processes, including three high temperature steam/chemical pretreatments and one low temperature chemical/mechanical pretreatment. A third biomass feedstock will undergo biomass deconstruction with three different pretreatment processes, including two high temperature chemical pretreatments and one low temperature chemical/mechanical pretreatment. Several pretreatment conditions will be performed in a screening study using NLR pilot-scale pretreatment equipment to generate a range of pretreated biomass substrates. A selected number of these substrates will be chosen for enzymatic saccharification evaluation, based on standard compositional analysis of the pretreated substrates as a primary indicator of pretreatment efficacy. Resulting enzymatic hydrolysis slurries will be analyzed to determine overall biomass sugar yields. Additional compositional analysis will be performed to determine oligomeric sugar composition and structure, to analyze structural characteristics of solids fractions on native, pretreated, and enzymatically saccharified biomass residues for one of the biomass feedstocks, corn stover. The enzymatically saccharified materials will undergo 2,3-butanediol fermentation in a shaker flask as bench scale. Using relevant process performance data collected in these various conversion steps, technoeconomic analysis activities will be performed to compare the economic potential of the various biomass feedstock and pretreatment processes and to identify key economic drivers and sustainability metrics.

Comparison of the efficacy of a biocompatible and a distillable solvent for pretreatment of mixed bioenergy feedstocks
Biomass deconstruction is a crucial step in the production of lignocellulosic biofuels and bioproducts. However, identifying and selecting an optimal pretreatment solvent that enhances enzymatic saccharification while being cost-efficient and ensuring sustainability remains a challenge. In this study, we compare the effectiveness of the biocompatible ionic liquid cholinium lysinate ([Ch][Lys]) against the distillable solvent ethanolamine, when used for the pretreatment of mixed bioenergy feedstocks, including poplar, switchgrass, and sorghum. [Ch][Lys] was used at a concentration of 10 % wt. in a one-pot configuration without biomass washing and ethanolamine was used in a concentrated form and removed with a vacuum oven, before performing enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial conversion. Our results show that ethanolamine pretreatment consistently enhances the glucose yield across various biomass types compared to [Ch][Lys], with improvements ranging from 22.0 % to 52.7 %. The highest combined sugar release was observed when the three feedstocks were combined in equal amounts and pretreated with ethanolamine, achieving a glucose yield of 84.6 % and a xylose yield of 76.6 %. Additionally, ethanolamine exhibited exceptional solvent recovery efficiency, with removal efficiencies exceeding 99.8 % at 120 °C across all feedstocks, highlighting its advantage over non-distillable solvents. While both solvents produced biocompatible hydrolysates, the hydrolysates prepared using ethanolamine resulted in higher bioproduct formation. These findings highlight the industrial relevance of selecting recyclable and biocompatible solvents for scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective bioenergy production. This study contributes to the development of economically viable and scalable pretreatment technologies for bioenergy applications using different feedstocks and process configurations.

The effects of expression of a hyperthermophilic endoglucanase and nutrient conditions on poplar growth and physiology
Abstract Efficient production and processing of poplar biomass feedstock requires costly pretreatments and enzyme additives. Transgenic alterations of poplar can reduce the need for these inputs by increasing biomass, improving lignocellulose quality and enhancing nutrient uptake. Previously, a transgenic line of poplar expressing a bacterial hyperthermophilic endoglucanase (TnCelB) in Populus alba × grandidentata (P39) was developed and characterized. This study reports the effects on the TnCelB transgenic poplar line under a reduced nutrient treatment. Overall, the nutrient treatment was the source of more observed significant differences than the genotype. Wild type and TnCelB poplar had similar responses in biomass allocation and net photosynthesis. TnCelB trees had a wrinkled leaf phenotype and relative to wild type, had reduced total biomass, reduced water-use efficiency, and a decreased proportion of cellulose to hemicellulose and lignin. In low nutrient conditions, TnCelB trees had increased structural carbohydrates with stable lignin values. The TnCelB line presents a viable option for poplar biomass feedstock, offering biomass comparable to wild type poplar and more efficient processing, with only mild negative phenotypes.

NASA's GreenLab Research Facility: A Guide for a Self-Sustainable Renewable Energy Ecosystem
There is a large gap between the production and demand for energy from alternative fuel and alternative renewable energy sources. The sustainability of humanity, as we know it, directly depends on the ability to secure affordable fuel, food, and freshwater. NASA Glenn Research Center (Glenn) has initiated a laboratory pilot study on using biofuels as viable alternative fuel resources for the field of aviation, as well as utilizing wind and solar technology as alternative renewable energy resources. The GreenLab Research Facility focuses on optimizing biomass feedstock using algae and halophytes as the next generation of renewable aviation fuels. The unique approach in this facility helps achieve optimal biomass feedstock through climatic adaptation of balanced ecosystems that do not use freshwater, compete with food crops, or use arable land. In addition, the GreenLab Research Facility is powered, in part, by alternative and renewable energy sources, reducing the major environmental impact of present electricity sources. The ultimate goal is to have a 100 percent clean energy laboratory that, when combined with biomass feedstock research, has the framework in place for a self-sustainable renewable energy ecosystem that can be duplicated anywhere in the world and can potentially be used to mitigate the shortage of food, fuel, and water. This paper describes the GreenLab Research Facility at Glenn and its power and energy sources, and provides recommendations for worldwide expansion and adoption of the facility s concept.

Are the U.S. Biorefineries Over the Hurdle of 2000 Ton Daily Throughput Yet?
The efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel and biochemical production is hindered by material handling issues such as clogging and segregation among other challenges. Preprocessing methods such as drying, screening, and milling have improved conversion yield but have not sufficiently enhanced flowability, especially herbaceous biomass. The poor flowability of herbaceous biomass is rooted in some particle attributes that remain less altered by those methods, e.g., irregular particle shape, high roughness, and high compressibility, making it hard to scale up throughput to a key benchmark for a biorefinery – 2000 ton per day. Applying additional preprocessing methods like pelletization and torrefaction to drastically change those particle attributes can improve flow and handling but has not been comprehensively verified through test. The flowability of herbaceous biomass feedstock formats generated by three different preprocessing methods was recently assessed at Idaho National Laboratory’s Biomass Feedstock National User Facility: first, loose particles size reduced from as-received materials; second, pellets produced from an efficient densification process; and third, powders milled from torrefied pellets. Benchmarking tests including static angle of repose, basic flow energy measured in a powder rheometer, and discharge flow in an adjustable hopper, were conducted to evaluate those feedstock formats. Beyond the capacity of existing experimental apparatuses, a digital engineering approach involving flow simulations and AI models were used to identity the material attributes and processing parameters that have dominant influences on flow throughput. Techno-economic analysis focusing on hopper flow as a typical material handling operation was conducted for those feedstock formats. Perspectives will be discussed on whether the 2000-ton daily throughput for a biorefinery is achievable at an acceptable cost by using any of the tested preprocessing methods.

Reducing Coke and Increasing Bio-Oil Yield during Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass Using Phosphorus-Modified Zeolite Catalysts
Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a promising strategy for producing hydrocarbon transportation fuels from biomass feedstocks. However, catalyst development is needed to increase bio-oil yields and enhance process economics. In this work, we demonstrate how post synthetic modification of formed ZSM-5 with phosphorus shifts CFP selectivity from coke and light gases toward the desired bio-oil product. Microscale experiments demonstrated reduced coke production relative to unmodified ZSM-5 and identified an optimal P loading. Extensive catalyst characterization revealed that P interacted with Al sites to reduce the acid site density, with preferential binding to the strongest acid sites. Insights from the microscale experiments were leveraged to produce kilogram quantities of formed P-ZSM-5 for evaluation in a larger semi-integrated process. These experiments generated liters of bio-oil that was hydrotreated and fractionated into gasoline, diesel, and jet cuts. The phosphorus-modified ZSM-5 improved CFP bio-oil yield, resulting in an 11% relative increase in the carbon yield from biomass to aviation fuel and a 14% decrease in the minimum fuel selling price. These results highlight the impact targeted changes in catalyst acidity, achieved by adding 2.5 wt % P, can have on the carbon efficiency and feasibility of fuel production from biomass feedstocks.

Microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of waste biomass and plastic feedstocks via thermochemical routes
Microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of waste feedstocks to fuels and value-added chemicals shows incredible promise as an efficient pathway to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s vision toward strengthening the nation’s energy independence. Microwave-heated systems have the potential to outperform conventional technologies through energy-efficient heating and improved product selectivity. This chapter emphasizes microwave-assisted catalytic approaches for waste conversion, allowing maximum energy recovery and extraction of valuable chemicals from waste feedstock such as biomass and plastics while reducing undesired byproducts. A gap remains in understanding how microwaves interact with materials to enable rapid and selective heating, which is crucial for improving catalytic efficiency. This chapter attempts to address this knowledge gap by proposing mechanisms that explain the microwave-catalytic interactions for efficient conversion of biomass-plastic wastes. In addition, comparisons with conventional catalytic technologies as well as the potential for scale ups and future commercialization of microwave-catalytic waste conversion technologies are also discussed.

Let’s Stick Together: Interplay of Moisture, Particle Size, and Anatomical Fraction in the Flowability of Corn Stover Crumbles
Handling of agricultural waste biomass feedstocks (such as corn stover) is a persistent challenge in the production of biofuels and chemicals at integrated biorefineries. Inconsistent flowability and high feedstock variability creates equipment downtime and processing challenges. This work investigates the influence of anatomical fractionation and moisture content on the bulk solids handling behavior of corn stover crumbles. A combination of rotational shear testing, tribological measurements, and surface and sorption characterization techniques (inverse gas chromatography (IGC), dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), and electron microscopy) were used to evaluate the contributions of particle composition, size, and surface properties to flow behavior. Shear and frictional testing revealed that moisture content has the greatest effect on flowability, significantly increasing unconfined yield strength (ƒ c ) and reducing the flow function coefficient (F F C), regardless of anatomical fraction. While differences in surface energy were observed between fractions, particularly in polar contributions (γ AB ), these did not correspond to meaningful differences in flow behavior. Coarser 6 mm particles exhibited poorer flow performance than 4 mm crumbles, likely due to broader particle size distributions and increased particle interlocking. Taken together, these results suggest that anatomical fractionation provides minimal benefit from a bulk handling perspective. Moisture content and particle size heterogeneity dominate handling behavior, reinforcing the utility of unfractionated corn stover in processing environments. These insights can inform the design of more efficient and reliable feedstock processing systems for agricultural biomass in integrated biorefineries.

Hydrothermal liquefaction of wastewater-grown algae to produce synthetic aviation fuel: A combined experimental study and techno-economic assessment
Large-scale algae farms may someday become a consistent source of biomass feedstock for biofuels. Near-term supplies of algal biomass are available at certain water resource recovery facilities as algae cultivation is used as a method for nutrient recovery from specific effluent streams. Algae grown as a service shifts the value to the service rather than its sole use as a feedstock, which could enable the provision of algal biomass at low to no cost to biofuel producers. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) can readily upgrade wet feedstock slurries, such as algae, to produce a carbon-enriched biocrude. The HTL biocrude can be hydrotreated and distilled, producing a variety of distillate fuels, including synthetic aviation fuel (SAF). We present a pathway, showing the experimental production of SAF from wastewater-grown algae via HTL, along with a techno-economic assessment to identify opportunities for process improvements. Critical quality attributes of the SAF, such as density, viscosity, surface tension, and freeze point, were estimated within the expected fuel experience ranges when compared against petroleum jet fuel. The average minimum fuel selling price of fuels from wastewater-grown algae for breakeven economics was $\$9.04$ per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE). The sale of co-products such as struvite fertilizers and cement additives can add revenue to reduce the net cost. Ultimately, the selling price is influenced by the scale of the HTL processing facility. Adjusting estimations in the process scale, algae yield, and capital cost estimation can lower the price to $\$6.51$/GGE or raise it to $13.07/GGE.

Feedstock Choices for Advancing the Bioeconomy in the US and Policy Implications
Biomass feedstocks will be critical for scaling up the bioeconomy in the United States to meet multiple demands for biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel, bioproducts, and biochemicals. There is a wide range of choices of feedstocks, including a variety of dedicated energy crops and crop residues. There are substantial differences in the yields, costs of production, and carbon intensity of these feedstocks and for each feedstock across locations. These feedstocks also differ in the trade-offs they offer among multiple environmental impacts. We discuss the economic factors that will influence the production of these feedstocks and the implications of alternative biofuel and low-carbon policies for the mix of feedstocks that will be incentivized.

Biomass yield potential, feedstock quality, and nutrient removal of perennial buffer strips under continuous zero fertilizer application
Perennial-based buffer strips have been promoted as having the potential for improving ecosystem services from riparian areas while producing biomass as livestock feed or as a bioenergy feedstock. Both biomass production and nutrient removal of buffer strips are substantially influenced by the vegetation types for the multipurpose perennial buffers. In this 2016–2019 study in western Illinois, two perennial cropping systems, including forage crops composed of cool-season grass mixtures (forage system) and bioenergy crops made up of warm-season grass mixtures (bioenergy system), were used to establish buffer strips for assessing biomass production, feedstock quality, nutrient removal, and buffer longevity. Treatments for this study reflecting agronomic practices included (1) two harvests occurring in summer (at anthesis) and fall (after complete senescence) and (2) one harvest in fall for the forage system (two-cut vs. one-cut forage) and (3) one fall harvest for the bioenergy system (one-cut bioenergy). Successively harvesting without any fertilizer input resulted in a yield decline in forage biomass over 3 years by approximately 30 % (6.3 to 4.4 Mg DM ha –1 (dry matter) with a rate of 1.0 Mg ha –1 yr –1 ) in the two-cut forage and by 35 % (4.9 to 3.2 Mg DM ha –1 with a rate of 0.9 Mg ha –1 yr –1 ) in the one-cut forage systems. The feed quality also decreased over the years by showing declined rates of 12.9 (crucial protein), 0.9 (calcium), 0.7 (copper), and 1.3 g kg –1 DM yr –1 (zinc). Empirical models predicted enteric CH 4 emissions from cattle ranged from 225.7 to 242.6 g per cow per day based on the feed nutritive values. In contrast, bioenergy biomass yield increased by 27 % from 4.9 to 6.7 Mg DM ha –1 with a consistent quality (cellulose of ~ 397.9 g kg –1 ; hemicellulose of ~ 299.4 g kg –1 ), corresponding to the increased total theoretical ethanol yield from 1.8 × 10 3 to 2.4 × 10 3 L ha –1 (~ 33 % increase). Annual nutrient removals of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg were significantly higher in the forage systems (e.g., two-cut: 52.6–106.9 kg N ha –1 ; one-cut: 44.5–84.1 kg N ha –1 ) than those in the bioenergy system (e.g., 25.9–34.4 kg N ha –1 ); however, the removal rate declined rapidly over 3 years (e.g., ~ 49 % reduction) as the annual biomass yield declined in the forage systems. This on-farm field study demonstrated the potential of the perennial crop used as buffer strip options for biomass production and buffer sustainability at the edge of the field.

Novel Preprocessing Techniques for Enhancing Flowability of Miscanthus
Purpose-grown energy crops possess significant potential as promising feedstocks for biofuel and biochemical production. However, similar to other biomass feedstocks, their utilization has been hindered by handling and feeding challenges such as clogging and segregation, which prevent biorefineries from operating at full capacity. These challenges arise primarily due to particle attributes including irregular shape, high flexibility, and high compressibility, leading to interlocking, high compaction, and significant friction under stress consolidation. To enhance operational reliability, it is crucial to focus on preprocessing techniques to address these issues, alongside accurately characterizing the mechanical and physical properties and flow performance of these feedstocks. This study investigates novel preprocessing techniques, including pelletization and torrefaction, to fundamentally alter these particle attributes and improve flowability. Miscanthus, an herbaceous energy crop, was the primary focus of this study. Samples were processed using a Forest Concepts Crumbler rotary shear system and an oscillating multi-stack screen bed to achieve two nominal (baseline) particle sizes: 6mm and 2mm. The study evaluated the efficiency and energy consumption of size reduction, revealing that while 2mm particles required more energy, they exhibited better flowability and higher yield strength compared to 6mm particles. Shear and compression tests assessed the material's shear strength, internal friction, and elastic modulus, while wedge-shaped hopper tests measured the critical arching distance and mass flow rate. The results provide valuable insights into the mechanical properties and processing efficiency of Miscanthus, contributing to the development of a preprocessing framework that enhances energy efficiency and material flowability in bioenergy production. However, further preprocessing and development are required to optimize this framework fully.
