Fueling America: The Need for Standardization of Solid Biofuels

Joshua Holmes – VP – System Development, AESIAs featured in the March 2012 edition of Biomass Power and Thermal Magazine.
According to the U.S. DOE’s Billion-Ton Update, more than 500 million tons of solid biomass waste is produced in the U.S. annually, and that figure is estimated to expand beyond 1 billion tons by 2022. As the country’s energy policy evolves and the biomass waste industry continues to grow, solid biofuels will become a staple of American energy. In order for that to occur, biomass energy projects need to continue to be successful, and that requires consideration of several factors.
A successful biomass project should have a well-defined fuel source, as well as properly sized and selected equipment. The primary focus at the front end of every solid biofuels project is identifying the potential feedstock source. Currently, potential biomass sources must always be verified through chemical and physical analysis to ensure the fuel is compatible with the thermal equipment for achieving complete combustion and emissions compliance. Solid biofuels can vary in calorific value, moisture content, and ash content based on class, region, and climate, even on a load-to-load basis. Because of these variations, equipment performance and project economics are at risk of degradation without a proper, uniform definition for solid biofuels.
Currently, domestic feedstock sources are defined by thermal conversion equipment suppliers or by solid biofuel producers, generally according to different terms. Equipment suppliers are typically focused on a performance-basis, while solid biofuel producers are focused on a value-basis. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistencies in definitions of solid biofuel quality, quantity, and value, creating uncertainty for both users and providers. This uncertainty creates a level of perceived risk from an economic perspective.

Not every industrial, commercial, or institutional business needs a biomass-to-energy facility, and Alternative Energy Solutions International (AESI) won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need.
The Wichita, Kan.-based company relies on referrals from satisfied customers and engineers or leads generated from the company’s robust website. “We don’t populate trade shows or push-sell strongly,” said David Daniels, CEO. “Our belief is that if customers can see the benefits of the system, we can supply it.”
AESI is a leading privately owned biomass-to-energy integrator in the US, offering proven modular biomass gasification applications. AESI provides turnkey solutions that produce thermal energy.
“There are too many stories out there about companies buying biomass systems and then fighting them over the life of the unit,” Daniels said. “That doesn’t add value, and, in fact, hurts everyone in this market. The problems stem from lack of front-end development and/or lack of training on unit operation.”
