Jo-Carroll Depot Lra

The Jo-carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) Seeks to Assess the Feasibility of a Biofuels Facility at the Savanna Industrial Park (site), Incorporating Organic Waste Conversion and Other Complementary Technologies (project). Dead Standing Timber Resulting From the 2019 Flood Along a Range of Mississippi River “pools” Present a Major Navigational Hazard If Additional Flooding Moves Them Into the River, But Also a Very Large Potential Feedstock Supply. We Will Determine the Suitability of Collecting, Transporting, and Converting This Feedstock, and Other Identified During the Project, Into Syn-gas or Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) via a Suitable Bioconversion Platform (e.g. Gasification or Anaerobic Digestion), Thereby Determining the Feasibility of the Conversion of This Feedstock as a Primary Energy Pathway for the Site. This Determination of the Feedstock as a Reliable and Productive Energy Source, as Well as the Logistics Around Sourcing, Processing, Aggregation and Transportation, Will Provide a Robust Dataset That Will Form the Basis of a Move to Commercial Application. the Dataset Generated by the Feasibility Effort Will Not Only Impact the Overarching Project Objectives Listed Below But Will Lead to Follow-on Development in Other Feedstocks, Conversion Technologies, and an Expanded Product Portfolio.
