Приєднався 16 сер 2013
Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest (AHB) is a program funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. AHB integrates research, education, and extension to develop the framework for a poplar-based biofuel and bio-based chemical industry in the Pacific Northwest.
AHB is focused on laying the foundation for a renewable biofuels and bio-based chemical industry. High value chemicals, such as acetic acid, ethyl acetate, ethylene, and cellulosic ethanol, which are produced during the first stages of the biofuel production process, can be used to make bioproducts including paints and plastics.
The longer-term goal is to develop poplar-based biofuels including jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline that can supplement fossil fuels. These biofuels will be certified to run in conventional car, truck, and aircraft engines and will be 100% compatible with existing infrastructure.
AHB started in 2011 and continues through 2019. Learn more at hardwoodbiofuels.org.

Webinar: Latino Energy Literacy Outreach & Agriculture Worker Research in the PNW
Latinos are a growing and vibrant part of many communities. This is especially true in the Pacific Northwest where Latino populations are approaching 20% in some counties. Reaching diverse audiences is a critical part of social sustainability and creating resilient communities. Latino access to Extension resources may be limited for a variety of reasons including language barriers and lack of awareness.
As part of Advanced Hardwood Biofuels Northwest (AHB), we found that Latinos were an important stakeholder in project involvement and also as future consumers of the bio-economy. In 2016, we started programs, events, and research specifically targeted toward Latino communities, youth, families, and agriculture workers. In this webinar, we will describe our work in creating a volunteer program, hosting events, and researching agriculture workers, which were all targeted toward the Latino community.
This webinar was hosted by the National Network for Sustainable Living Education on June 21, 2018. Presented by Patricia Townsend and Tatiana Giraldo from Washington State University Extension.

Why not use sugar beets?
ever heard of paulownia, the world's fastest growing tree????
This is so interesting!! Keep it up :)
got any of those small plants ready yet ?
Government Policy Needs to support this. Instead we are pouring money into EVs which are stripping earth of lithium.
Which is total joke...
Good
good
Great info
What's easier: adapting your current car to 30% cheaper carbon negative cellulosic ethanol [E85] or replacing it with a new EV ? Exactly.
Easier and much cheaper is using the EV. Price of this ethanol is around 20 times higher compared to driving an EV (and 2 times higher than gas).
@@velikdole9712 Wrong. No EV is the price of a tank of ethanol. But you know that.
@@LawrenceMarkFearon You are wrong. Even when you account for the higher puchase price of an EV, EV is CHEAPER long term compared to gasoline car. Here in europe we pay 7 $ per gallon for diesel..
@@velikdole9712 ethanol is not gasoline. It’s a very different sourced and produced liquid fuel. $2.34/gallon here in America.
@@LawrenceMarkFearon I know that ethanol is not gasoline. 2,34$ per gallon is SUBSIDIZED cost, actual cost is much higher than that, around 10$ per gallon. But even if you take into account lower 2,34$ per gallon number, that is STILL 4 times MORE expensive than driving an electric car..
Very informative and well explained video
Branches of date trees in the middle east as well as wasted date fruits is a good material for ethanol.
This video is short and the explanation is well detailed with clear understanding.
Could you please tell me the net energy yield for cellulosic ethanol in MJ/L??
Nice great ! it’s my work too with field trials at home
6 years later and nobody cares

I want to do something like this in iraq can you help me?
Every city must do this process for see the world pollution free🤗

Amazing!! Currently working on a PhD project to study the secondary cell walls of Poplar, Eucalyptus, Beech, Oak, and Norway Spruce on how lignin locks up the energy in these plants, their structure and interactions. Hopefully one day we shall GO GREEN!
I wonder if they can decontaminate soils with lead pollution. If you can remove a lot of the lead in the environment you will not only be cleaning the environment but also contributing to educational advancement of the youth of America and lower the crime rate too. www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/02/lead-exposure-gasoline-crime-increase-children-health/
monocultures are just asking for disease, are there other trees that do the same other than willow?
Thank you for sharing!Really interesting topic and great presentation.
Well, looks like these companies are screwed until at least 2020. Trump lowering CAFE standards, making it cheaper to pollute, and giving subsidies to oil and coal companies means cellulosic ethanol and biobutanol will be uneconomical until the Climate Panic starts. Then it will be too late!
Very interesting video!
In developed countries you already have systematic waste segregation in place. With these cellulosic ethanol production you can lead the world in biofuels. In every town or a city w.r.t biomass availability production unit needs to be set up. The power required for these units can be from combination of renewable + energy storage + grid. What's stopping you, you have all resources and wealth. This is amazing lead the world in Biofuels.
Was it the same with ficus pseudopalma
COOL ! I love this site !
"We're excited about the opportunities...." says it all. That is code for "our technology ain't there yet". I'm thinking that long term economically viable renewable energy is still 50 years out. Somebody will come up with a breakthrough , just not in my lifetime.
No, this technology is pretty much done developing, but it is not needed, because oil is very cheap right now. It would be a waste of money.
@@tenj00 Somehow, the point is that, instead buying already available biofuel from countries with climatic favorable conditions to produce it, the preference is to keep the oil industry running. Brazil not just have a by itself competitive substitute for gasoline, but also rely on cultivated eucalyptus firewood to replace industrial use of gas and coal, with more than one hundred million hectares available for expansion. There are also many other countries through tropical Americas, Africa and Asia with similar potentials. Nevertheless, the choice still being Russia and Middle East fossil fuels.

just a Question: if 1 tree converted to electricity it is efficient more than converting it to Biodiesel ? * regardless the need for biofuel.I wait your answer.
Why are the chips being blown on the ground?
Thanks for the question. This is a demonstration site for the AHB project where poplar trees are being grown to research their potential as a biofuel and biochemical feedstock. When the poplars were harvested there were limited markets for the poplar chips and none that made economic sense to transport the poplar chips to another location. These trees are now in their 2nd growing season after the initial coppice harvest and are growing quite well. They are scheduled to be harvested again in the winter of 2017.
+Hardwood Biofuels Very good video and demonstration of your engineering talents : )
great video! its great to see more diverse feedstocks in cellulosic ethanol production
Great to see our CenUSA Bioenergy colleagues Sue Hawkins and Jill Euken on this nicely done video.
Nice job with this video on cellulosic ethanol from woody biomass.
The simultaneous audio in two languages makes it difficult to understand what is being said.
Nice job.
Very nice job!
I couldn't agree more but I would state that poplar makes fine fuel for wood burning fireplaces, especially as kindling. We recommend planting the Poplar trees from Arbor Day with the Groasis Waterboxx.
We grow lots here in Ireland too (check our channel) but you don't need all that fancy equipment and chemicals - the best way to store energy is in a log stack.
