Jag....Looks to me like they are talking about this particular system. Don't see a mention of any industry-wide technology.

Expected outcomes are innovative, integrated technology to reduce size and separate crop
residues and dedicated biomass crops in on-the-go harvesters and stationary units.
The systematic
approach with university/government research infrastructure and an equipment manufacturer is expected
to rapidly lead to a commercialized system and useful understandings for other biomass processing
efforts. Expected benefits of an integrated system by 2010 are $1 billion/y savings in physical processing
energy and improved wet conversion processes with targeted feedstock streams. Environmental benefits
include recycling of non-target plant parts on soil. The project is a critical link between biomass
producers and users.
