Advancing Utilization of Manure Methane Digester on Haubenschild Dairy Farm
•
1 like•332 views
The document discusses a project funded by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources to advance the utilization of manure through a methane digester at Haubenschild Dairy Farm in Princeton, Minnesota. The project aims to generate income through milk production, crop production, electrical production from the digester, and future hydrogen production. There are challenges to using biogas for a fuel cell, including removing hydrogen sulfide, moisture, and carbon dioxide to low ppm concentrations. Emissions from the farm's generator are compared to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, with the fuel cell producing far lower emissions of CO, NOx, SOx, and hydrocarbons per kWh generated.

The document provides an overview of nuclear energy in India. It notes that India's electricity demand is projected to double by 2020 and that nuclear energy production is planned to increase from the current 4,780 MW to 25,000 MW by 2020 and 64,000 MW by 2032. Nuclear energy is promoted as a low-carbon alternative to coal, which currently provides over half of India's electricity but also high carbon emissions. The document outlines India's nuclear resources and plans to utilize its abundant thorium reserves to significantly increase nuclear power production in the coming decades. However, it also notes some challenges facing increased use of nuclear energy in India.
Energy Units And Conversions
This document defines various units used to measure energy and power, and conversions between them. It provides conversions between joules (J), watts, kilowatt-hours (kWh), calories (cal), British Thermal Units (BTU), quads, and therms. Additionally, it gives the energy content and carbon dioxide emissions from different fossil fuels like coal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, and wood.
Geo Sol - Carbon Footprint
The document discusses carbon footprints, which measure the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, event, organization, or producer. It notes that the USA has the highest CO2 output per capita and that CO2 emissions have increased rapidly since 1950 based on the type of energy source used. Carbon footprints vary significantly depending on the energy source, with renewable sources like solar and wind having much lower footprints than fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Solar Power vs Natural Gas
This document compares the costs of natural gas and solar power. It provides the current price per MMBTU charged by SSGC for industrial customers. It then converts this gas price to a price per kWh, calculating it to be approximately Rs. 17 per kWh. The document estimates the daily energy output and savings from a 1,000 watt solar installation. It calculates that the upfront cost of such a solar system would be paid back in around 4 years based on avoided electricity costs from gas.

(1) The document discusses a life cycle assessment comparing the production of biofuels and construction products from forestland to determine which provides the greatest carbon mitigation.
(2) Preliminary results show that biofuels like ethanol can meet EPA thresholds for reducing emissions by 60% compared to gasoline and displace more fossil fuel emissions than they create.
(3) The full life cycle analysis tracks impacts from the forest through harvesting, processing, product use and finds that sustainably managing forests for both construction materials and biofuels can provide long-term carbon storage while increasing energy independence.
POWER GRID BALANCING BY BIOMASS CHPs IN UKRAINE
The document discusses balancing Ukraine's power grid as more renewable energy sources like solar and wind are added. It proposes using biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plants to help balance the grid. CHPs fueled by biomass like wood chips and husks can provide baseload power and also ramp up or down output as needed to balance the intermittent output of solar and wind. The document analyzes the levelized costs of operating biomass CHPs for balancing compared to gas turbines and estimates that a "three-zone" green tariff structure could incentivize biomass plants to provide both baseload and balancing services.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack declared a goal in 2011 of bringing one new manure-based anaerobic digestion (AD) system on-line per week; however, there are some real challenges that need to be overcome to make this goal a reality. To help achieve this goal, the economics of farm-based AD systems need to be improved. Making better use of AD surplus heat (mostly released to the ambient atmosphere), improving generator efficiency, and electricity use are real opportunity that needs to be flushed out. Greenhouses in the Northeast and similar climates are energy-intensive and therefore an excellent candidate to partner with AD systems to utilize their engine waste heat and electrical energy.

Animal manure is often utilized by the American agriculture industry as fertilizer without considering the potential energy production. It is well established that on-farm anaerobic digestion (AD) can be effective in providing energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and controlling air and water pollutions. Knowledge of the ADs on biogas production, digested and stored manure nutrients, and air emissions must reach parties of interest. A modular, pilot-scale, mesophilic AD system is being installed for the new swine finishing facility at University of Missouri-Columbia Research Farm.
Anaerobic Digestion Presentazione Si
Anaerobic digestion is a series of microbiological processes that converts organic compounds to methane by four types of bacteria at different stages. The bacteria break down organic waste into sugars, amino acids, organic acids, and eventually methane and carbon dioxide. There are different types of digesters that operate at various temperatures and solid concentrations, including covered lagoons for large volumes of dilute waste, plug-flow for ruminant manure, and temperature-phased digesters for enhanced digestion of lignocellulose. Anaerobic digestion is important as it produces methane for energy, reduces greenhouse gases, and generates energy from waste.

Heat rate is a key performance indicator for power plants that measures efficiency. It is calculated as the amount of input energy (e.g. coal) divided by the amount of electrical output energy. A lower heat rate indicates a more efficient plant. The document discusses different types of heat rates used - gross, net, and turbine cycle - and how to calculate them directly from energy inputs and outputs or indirectly based on deviations from design parameters. More advanced supercritical and ultra-supercritical plant designs have been able to achieve significantly lower heat rates and higher efficiencies compared to older subcritical plant designs.

Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that converts organic materials into solid, liquid, and gas products without oxygen. Fast pyrolysis occurs between 400-600°C and favors maximum liquid production around 500°C. A benefit of pyrolysis is that it produces a liquid bio-oil that is more readily stored and transported than gases. Dr. Cramton has developed a fast pyrolysis reactor that converts materials like waste, biomass, coal, and tires into high energy gas and oil. The system has no harmful emissions and can produce gas and oil simultaneously for power generation while meeting all environmental standards.

Minnesota Brightfields Study Results
In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature allocated funding to the Environmental Quality Board to study the potential for solar development on Minnesota’s Closed Landfill Program sites. Solar development on these sites would put underutilized, contaminated land to use generating clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and creating jobs and revenue. Siting solar on brownfields like closed landfills—called "brightfield" development—can also reduce development pressure on other lands, such as farmland and natural areas. The Environmental Quality Board delivered a report to the legislature in December 2020, and data about Closed Landfills Program sites is now available.
