MOhemp Energy: The Stars are aligning for Hemp in Missouri

How will this affect Missouri Hemp Farming

I asked the Missouri Department of Agriculture that exact same thing!

MOhemp Energy: The Stars are aligning for Hemp in Missouri: 

Update: Industrial Hemp Farming has been approved in the USA House and Senate. This was part of the current #Farmbill2018 legislation. Current status: waiting on President45 signature!

Comment period opens on EPA’s ACE rule @BiomassMagazine

Sure seems like the @EPA is doing everything it can to keep the Dirty Coal industry afloat.

Notice: Cofiring Biomass with coal barely gets a mention. 

Here's what everyone is missing and how Hemp could help (proven by science I've shared previously).  Here's the short version: when Hemp Lignin is removed from the stalk of a hemp plant and sprayed on dirty coal before the combustion chamber (cofiring).  The lignin increases the BTU output of the dirty coal.  This increased heat burns so hot- the harmful coal emissions are eliminated without any upgrades or smokestack scrubbers.

In a nutshell this would not only save electricity buyers money, because we won't be passed along the $millions$ needed for smokestack upgrades.  It would also help the Farmers, in turn helping the local community all over the USA instead of just the coal producing states.

The U.S. EPA published its proposed rule to create the Affordable Clean Energy Program (ACE rule) in the Federal Register on Aug. 31, officially opening a 60-day public comment period on the proposal.



On Aug. 21, the EPA released a prepublication version of the ACE rule, which aims to establish emissions guidelines for states to develop plans to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from existing coal-fired power plants. The ACE rule would replace the Clean Power Plan, which the EPA proposed to repeal last year.



Information released by EPA indicates one major difference between the CPP and the ACE rule is that the CPP promoted disinvestment in coal in favor of renewables and natural gas, and relied on fuel switching. Alternatively, the ACE rule promotes investments to make coal plans cleaner and more efficient and does not promote fuel switching.



According to the EPA, the ACE rule defines the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for existing power plants as on-site, heat-rate efficiency improvements. It also provides states with a list of candidate technologies that can be used to establish standards of performance and be incorporated into their state plans. In addition, ACE updates the new source review (NSR) permitting program to further encourage efficiency improvements at existing power plants and gives states time and flexibility to develop their state plans.



The ACE rule also briefly addresses biomass. While the proposal does not include cofiring as BSER, the agency does propose that biomass cofiring be allowed as a compliance option that states may consider. The rule also references an April 23 April 23 policy announcement by the EPA in which the agency said biomass from managed forests will be treated as carbon neutral when used for energy production at stationary sources.



The public comment period on the ACE rule closes Oct. 30. Comments can be filed online at www.Regulations.gov under EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0355.

EIA: 600,000 tons of densified biomass fuel sold in March

 @BiomassMagazine The U.S. Energy Information Administration recently released data showing that U.S. manufacturers produced approximately 650,000 tons of densified biomass fuel in March, with sales reaching 600,000 tons during the month.

The data was released as part of the June edition of EPA’s Monthly Densified Biomass Fuel Report, which includes data for March. The EIA collected data from 86 operating manufacturers of densified biomass fuel to complete the report. The report does not include data from facilities with annual capacities of less than 10,000 tons, which report data annually rather than monthly.

The 86 manufacturers that submitted data in February have a combined annual production capacity of 11.79 million tons per year and collectively had an equivalent of 1,999 full-time employees.

In March, respondents purchased 1.27 million tons of raw biomass feedstock, produced 650,000 tons of densified biomass fuel and sold 600,000 tons of densified biomass fuel. Production included 147,226 tons of heating pellets and 498,864 tons of utility pellets.

Domestic sales reached 122,727 tons and averaged $149.22 per ton. Exports in March reached 381,319 tons an averaged $174.32 per ton.

Inventories of premium/standard wood pellets reached 225,990 tons in March, up from 217,859 tons in February. Inventories of utility pellets reached 345,615 tons in March, up from 255,172 tons in February.

Data gathered by the EIA shows total U.S. densified biomass fuel production capacity reached 12.36 million tons in March, including 11.75 million tons listed as currently operating or temporarily not in operation. This includes 2.43 million tons of capacity in the East, 9.13 million tons of capacity in the South and 797,020 tons of capacity in the West. An additional 483,700 tons of capacity is listed as planned or under construction.

Facilities currently listed as planned or under construction include a 37,000-ton-per-year facility in Maine under development by F.E. Wood & Sons-Natural Energy, a 105,000-ton-per-year facility in Alabama under development by MRE Crossville LLC, a 340,000-ton-per-year plant in Georgia under development by Blue Sky Biomass Georgia LLC, and a 1,700-ton-per-year facility in New Mexico under development by Mt.
