This document presents information on life-cycle inventories for wood pellet manufacturing in Wisconsin. It examines three feedstock scenarios: pellets from whole logs, wet co-products, and dry co-products. For each scenario, it tracks material and energy inputs and outputs on a per short ton basis, including raw wood materials, fuel consumption for upstream processes like harvesting and transportation, and total energy. The goal is to compare the environmental impacts of producing wood pellets from different feedstock sources in Wisconsin from cradle to gate.
This document summarizes research on developing soy-based wood adhesives as a renewable alternative to formaldehyde-based adhesives. It discusses how soy proteins can be used as the basis for adhesives but are more complex than synthetic polymers to formulate. Experiments showed that soy protein isolate performed best while soy flour performed poorer, due to interfering carbohydrates. Formulating soy adhesives with a polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin curing agent improved strength, especially for concentrate. The research aims to better understand soy proteins for adhesive applications and develop commercially viable soy-based wood adhesives.
