The report, Biomass as Feedstock for a Bioenergy and Bioproducts Industry: The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply (Billion-Ton Study complete report ~2.8 MB), estimated the potential biomass available within the contiguous United States based on assumptions about current and future inventory production capacity, availability, and technology.

n vehicles designed for its use, high-octane fuel blends have the potential to increase vehicle efficiency through improved knock suppression. When the high-octane blend is made with 25%–40% ethanol by volume, efficiency improvements of 5%–10% are sufficient to offset the reduced vehicle range often associated with the decreased volumetric energy density of the fuel (such as with flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs) fueled with E85).

Appendix

• Table C-10 has wrong column heading (should be "BT16 high-yield scenario") 

  Table C-10 has wrong column heading. The column heading titled "BT16 base case" should instead say "BT16 high-yield scenario", as specified in the table's caption. The base-case scenario is shown in Table C-9.

The Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework (KDF) website aims to provide access to information, to assist stakeholders in understanding differences in terminology and approaches, and to build trust regarding the broad set of documentation relevant to U.S. biomass-based production.

The Bioenergy Library contains hundreds of publications, data sets, and models specifically related to bioenergy production, distribution, delivery, and end use. Many of the Bioenergy Library publication records include abstracts and links to full-text content.

The 2016 Billion-Ton Report: Advancing Domestic Resources for a Thriving Bioeconomy is the third in a series of national biomass resource assessments commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy. This report aims to inform national bioenergy policies and research, development, and deployment strategies. It is the first volume in a two-volume set. Volume 2 evaluates the potential environmental sustainability effects of a subset of production scenarios described in Volume 1.

The 2016 Billion-Ton Report: Advancing Domestic Resources for a Thriving Bioeconomy (BT16) is the third in a series of national assessments commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy that quantifies cellulosic and other biomass resources that could potentially be available, at certain prices, for bioenergy and bioproducts. The BT16 report is composed of two volumes. Volume 1 focused on potential availability of biomass under specified market scenarios. Volume 2, presented here, is a first effort at evaluating changes in environmental indicators associated with select 2017 and 2040 biomass production scenarios in volume 1, with an emphasis on agricultural and forest biomass.

Benefits of the KDF

The Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework (KDF) is an online collaboration toolkit and data resource that provides access to the latest bioenergy research. In the KDF, users can search the Bioenergy Library to find data sets, publications, and models on a wide variety of bioenergy topics; use the Map interface to visualize, analyze, download, and export geospatial data; and browse the site’s collection of specialized Tools & Apps, which can also be launched on the map. Visitors of the KDF are encouraged to become registered users to acquire access to additional benefits, including the ability to contribute files and data sets, customize information online, and exchange knowledge with others.

The Bioenergy KDF supports the development of a sustainable bioenergy industry by providing access to a variety of data sets, publications, and collaboration and mapping tools that support bioenergy research, analysis, and decision making. In the KDF, users can search for information, contribute data, and use the tools and map interface to synthesize, analyze, and visualize information in a spatially integrated manner.
