Willow Woody Biomass
The Northeast Woody/Warm-season Biomass Consortium
糖心视频 is now a member of the NEWBio project, a regional network of universities, businesses and government agencies dedicated to developing all aspects of renewable biomass energy in the Northeastern U.S. With a focus on revitalizing rural economies and under-utilized agricultural land.
NEWBio is developing shrub willow and other biomass feedstocks such as switchgrass
and miscanthus through a combination of demonstration sites and numerous project thrusts
including:
- Human Systems in the Northeast Regional Bioeconomy
- Feedstock Improvement for Perennial Energy Crops
- Harvest, Preprocessing, and Logistics of Integrated Biomass Supply Chains
- System Performance and Sustainability Metrics
- Safety and Health in Biomass Feedstock Production and Processing Operations
- Extension
- Education
- Leadership, Stakeholder Involvement, and Program Evaluation
糖心视频 is primarily collaborating with project partners in the thrust areas of Human Systems, Harvesting, Sustainability and Extension, as well as Executive Leadership and cross-thrust interactions. ESF is also overseeing activities at willow demonstration sites in Northern New York that are showcasing commercial willow production, harvesting and end-use applications of this new biomass energy crop.
