Even though the results derived from these studies can be helpful in acquiring regional information, they should still be used with caution for local research.…”

Secondary transportation of raw and comminuted forest products is a major component in forest harvesting operations in terms of economics, public perception, and safety. Consequently, there is a substantial amount of literature on this topic. The existing literature has dealt with many of the technical aspects of transportation with a majority of them focusing on improving supply chain issues; however, there are only few specific to secondary transportation issues in general. This annotated bibliography will help practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders gain a better understanding of the existing literature from 2000 to 2015. To this end, we began by classifying the selected literature into six themes: cost, roads and routes, trucking, efficiency and safety, other modes of transportation, and supply chain and optimization. Woody biomass for bioenergy production was the most researched forest product with respect to transportation. About one-third of the articles were presented in the context of supply chain modeling and optimization. More than half of the studies originated from Europe while the United States had the most publications for any given country. Most articles (16) were published in 2013. Biomass and Bioenergy published the highest number of articles (29) during the timeframe.

“…The United States could sustainably produce 1 billion or more tons of dry biomass every year, including the agricultural and forestry resources, municipal solid waste, and algae. [ 6 ] The majority, agricultural and forestry resources, are plant biomass, which consists of versatile chemical components including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, thus also called lignocellulosic biomass. [ 7 ] Cellulose is a stiff crystalline polymer of dehydrated glucose units, hemicelluloses are amorphous polymers of dehydrated mixed sugars (i.e., glucose, xylose, etc.…”

Understanding Plant Biomass via Computational Modeling

Plant biomass, especially wood, has been used for structural materials since ancient times. It is also showing great potential for new structural materials and it is the major feedstock for the emerging biorefineries for building a sustainable society. The plant cell wall is a hierarchical matrix of mainly cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Herein, the structure, properties, and reactions of cellulose, lignin, and wood cell walls, studied using density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD), which are the widely used computational modeling approaches, are reviewed. Computational modeling, which has played a crucial role in understanding the structure and properties of plant biomass and its nanomaterials, may serve a leading role on developing new hierarchical materials from biomass in the future.

“…New forms bio-based manufactured products accounted for only 8 percent of direct value-added from bio-based production. In contrast to the BioPreferred reports, the DOE's Billion-Ton report [50] focused on bioresource supply potential. It considered a broader set of products and technologies and products, which included anaerobic digestion, bio-based chemicals, biodiesel, ethanol, landfill gas, woody biomass, and wood waste.…”

“…For example, the U.S. National Bioeconomy Blueprint emphasizes biotechnology and health applications, in keeping with the biotechnology vision [3]. The Department of Energy's Billion-Ton report [50] and the 2015 USDA BioPreferred report to Congress [89] emphasizes substituting renewable biological resources for fossil fuels, in keeping with the bioresource vision. Third, in keeping with the bioecology vision, the Earth BioGenome Project [100] addresses risks to biodiversity from climate change.…”

This article provides an overview of the U.S. bioeconomy, discussing how its definition has evolved and been formalized over time. The first attempts to conceptualize and define the U.S. bioeconomy began in the early 1990s. This was followed by a series of government and private efforts to develop methods to understand and evaluate it and to develop programs to promote it. These efforts culminated in the 2020 release of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), Safeguarding the Bioeconomy report. The report recommended a formal definition of the U.S. bioeconomy, providing the rationale for that particular definition in the U.S. context. Formally adopting a comprehensive definition of the U.S. bioeconomy would enable the U.S. government to better assess the bioeconomy’s current state, to develop strategies to support its growth, and to promote strategies to safeguard it. Along with this recommendation, the NASEM Safeguarding report also discussed defining the “bioeconomy landscape,” which involves more precise determination and quantification of which economic activities are part of and external to the U.S. economy. Defining this landscape could guide metric development and data collection needed to track the bioeconomy’s growth, conduct economic assessments, and enable policy makers to keep abreast of advances that could potentially pose new national or economic security challenges. The report also includes an analysis of the broad range national bioeconomy strategies, identification of the four drivers of the U.S. bioeconomy, and the first of its kind, comprehensive estimate of the size and scope of the U.S. bioeconomy of USD 959B (valued in 2016 constant USD ).
