Southeastern Partnership for Integrated Biomass Supply Systems to demonstrate tractor-trailer scale mobile biomass gasifier

In Tennessee, the Southeastern Partnership for Integrated Biomass Supply Systems (IBSS) will take to the road to show off the research progress of the regional partnership, which is focused on biofuels production centered in the Southeast utilizing fast growing, short rotation woody crops (SRWC). Coordinated by the University of Tennessee Center for Renewable Carbon, and including research partners Auburn University, North Carolina State University, ArborGen, Inc. and the University of Georgia, the IBSS tour will feature Auburn’s tractor-trailer scale mobile biomass gasifier. During the tour, the gasifier will demonstrate how to turn biomass into electricity on a small scale.

The IBSS Partnership is supported by an Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
