Xcel Energy announces renewable energy project selections

• Minnesota Valley Alfalfa Producers, Raymond, Minn., to research the application of a new, energy-efficient technology to process a variety of biomass feedstock to expand the resource options for biomass energy production, $1 million.

Proposal: Researching the Use of KDS (Kinetic Disintegration System) to Process Various Feedstocks for Biomass Pelletization Use

The project research centers on designing and fabricating changes in machinery originally used for pulverizing ores and minerals to process and pelletize various feedstocks for renewable energy applications. The resulting pellet products will be used for energy production by co-firing with coal, in combined heat and power (CHP) applications, for gasification, and/or used in biofuel production. Examples of feedstocks that will be explored include sweet corn silage, distiller’s grain, sorghum and millet, municipal byproducts (trees, grass clippings) paper sludge, and switchgrass.




GFET should contact FASC. They seem to have many synergies. GLTA.
