 Modeling the availability of woody biomass (organic matter from trees and plants) in heavily forested areas was the focus of a recent project conducted by the U.S. Forest Service and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), one of the national laboratories of the U.S. Department of Energy.  A joint team set out to build a software model to show the economics behind harvesting woody biomass as an energy source, and how harvesting could create benefits to boost forest restoration and reduce the risk of wildfire. The study focused on biomass from commercial thinning and timber harvesting and evaluated the delivered costs of biomass from restoration activities, factoring in data from nearby markets, processing, and transportation costs.  Initial results from the team’s research, based on a specific geographical area, showed that nearly 1.5 million tons of economically viable biomass were available for bioenergy use. This included delivery of about 395,000 tons of wood chips

There is solid momentum happening behind the scenes for Northwest Advanced Bio-Fuels LLC, as we move ever closer to the construction of a facility to produce and supply Delta Air Lines with 60+ million gallons of biofuel jet fuel annually. As we continue to forge new partnerships with world-class engineering firms to fill the role of Owner’s Engineer, Project Manager, and eventually Construction Manager, the SAF and biofuels world continues to grow. Here are a few recent news stories that are indicative of the future growth we will all see in this sector. Agriculture & Biofuels Industry Group Pushes for SAF Tax Credit A group of biofuel and agriculture industry associations teamed up recently to send a letter to the U.S. Senate members to outline their recommendations for the SAF tax credit. The undersigned groups are: American Farm Bureau Federation Growth Energy National Biodiesel Board National Corn Growers Association National Farmers Union Renewab

The next step in the race to find renewable energy sources to power our global economy is sustainable aviation fuel, and one company has taken a big first leap toward that goal: Northwest Advanced Bio-Fuels, LLC (NWABF). In a recently announced $2 million partnership with a major airline, NWABF is currently working on Phase 1 of a feasibility study to create that bio jet fuel from wood residue deposits and wood slash on forest floors known as woody biomass. Providing Solutions for Air Lines with West Coast Operations With the Phase 1 “Advanced Planning Study” of a bio jet fuel production facility underway, NWABF is already planning for a Phase 2 Front-end Engineering and Design Study that will allow the Project’s world-class Engineering and Construction Partner to design and construct the renewable bio jet fuel facility in Washington State. First deliveries are planned for the end of 2023 for use of the renewable jet fuel in this airline’s operations up and down the West Coast. This s
