Trends and progress in U.S. bioenergy technologies
Article Abstract:
Advancements in biomass energy production technologies include new equipment that can handle a wider range of diverse feedstocks, dewatering densification dies to manage materials with high moisture contents, pellet stoves that burn low-ash fuels, lagoon systems for anaerobic digestion, co-firing and other thermochemical gasification systems, and fuel cell and ethanol production development.

Beneficial use of industrial by-products
Article Abstract:
An overview is presented on the use of industrial waste in a variety of composting and other soil amendment applications. These include causticizing wastes as substitutes for agricultural lime, pharmaceutical residues for high-nitrogen treatments, and paper fiber as a component of engineered soil for covering mine-refuse piles.

Using MSW and industrial residues as ethanol feedstocks
Article Abstract:
An overview is presented on producing clean burning ethanol fuel from organic residuals, and its positive impact on energy security and economic development. Nationwide adoption of this process can divert 75% of landfill-bound materials to energy production and other marketable products.
