| Technology Brief |
The Iowa State University BioCentury Research Farm is an integrated research and demonstration facility dedicated to biomass production and processing. Activities at the Farm include cultivar development and testing; biomass harvest, storage, and transportation; biomass processing; and byproduct disposal. The bioprocessing facility will offer three different lines for processing ground and pretreated biomass: a biochemical train, a thermochemical train, and a bioprocessing train (hybrid technologies). The products can be fuels and other biobased products. Byproduct recycling to the field shall be optimized.
