Welcome to BiomassLogistics.org! Commercial waste compactor (on right) that has been adapted to hydraulically compact chopped switchgrass into an ejector trailer (on left) for efficient transport at twice the bulk density compared to loose switchgrass. The ejector trailer can quickly self-unload. These are some of the equipment uniquely employed in the project. We did not do this project alone!

Switchgrass Growing a New Cash Crop. East Tennessee farmers' first switchgrass harvest ready to turn into biofuel. I've got a little less than 50 acres (planted in switchgrass), he said. If I had it to do over again, I would have committed 200. We're going to need a lot more (switchgrass) for a commercial facility, so that takes some time to establish, Hutchins said. What all this elaborate prep work will mean for the local economy is difficult to tell. DuPont Danisco consistently has said it plans t...
