Pacific Biomass Export Company’s™ biomass supply chain sources from California’s productive agricultural region.
- We aggregate and export biomass harvested from multiple feedstock basins, which produces a reliable renewable supply.
- Our producers have long term relationships with landowners, have extensive knowledge of agricultural processes, and utilize the most up to date specialized processing and delivery equipment.
- We use on time, quality biomass harvesting methods that follow environmental guidelines; which is necessary for increasing crop production, improving forest health, and implementing on time crop rotations.
- Recent restrictions on open agriculture burning have significantly increased biomass availability.
- Biomass as a supply changes locations each season. Our producers move in and out as necessary to accommodate the crop cycles and natural hazard events such as storm damage or large forest fire recovery.
- California biomass feedstock harvesting, aggregation, and delivery systems are in full operation and are scalable. We can direct biomass delivery to multiple port or rail sidings as well as handle the management and flow of biomass resources with complete logistics support.
Biomass Bulk Transportation
- Short Sea Shipping opportunities to the mouth of the Mississippi River can utilize the back haul of barges, bringing biomass to the coal fired power plants deep within coal country. Our biomass supply chain will allow additional feedstocks to be developed and come to market. Utilities will be able to meet their renewable percentages, giving new technologies for energy and renewable fuels time to develop. (Download Report: Short Sea Shipping survey)
- California Class 1 railroads are the Union Pacific (UP) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railways. Regional Rail is also available through Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (which acquired RailAmerica): California Northern Railroad (CFNR) and San Joaquin Valley Railroad (SJVR).
Class 1 rail lines link feedstock basins throughout the country so export shipping can occur on the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. Rail lines also service the coal energy sector, allowing for cofiring or coal replacement with biomass. Feel free to contact us about railroad mapping solutions or any questions concerning our rail data.
