Officials with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office have been trying to find the family of a man whose remains were found March 15 in a Gorman drainage ditch.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
On July 15, officials identified the remains of a body found four months earlier in the wake of the Pine Fire.
Related: Possible Gorman Murder Investigated By Sheriff's Department Detectives
The body was identified through what's known as circumstantial identification, according to a coroner's official who was not authorized to talk to media.
"They've been looking at some missing persons with dental records and sent some bone missing with DNA," said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, back in April. "So we're still trying to find out who it is."
Those attempts reportedly have been unsuccessful thus far.
The body was found in a ravine off Ridge Route Road and Highway 138, but detectives quickly determined the remains were part of a crime scene, and the victim was not killed in the Pine Fire, which burned about 150 acres of Gorman in March.
Detectives believe foul play was involved in the death of John Doe No. 59, the name given to the man until he was identified, which is the name he'll be referred to as publicly by the Coroner's Office until the man's family is notified.
The victim's body has been at the location for an extended period of time, possibly up to four years, Sheriff's Department officials.
The cause of death was deferred, according to officials, which means, it was not released in reports available to coroner's officials.
Detectives Shonka and Holston of the Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau are investigating the suspected murder for John Doe No. 59.
They could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.
No new leads have been reported through the Nixle service, which is used by the Sheriff's Department to send out crime alerts and community messages.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or by using the website.

Isn't the game's quality more important than its length? Chrono Trigger might well be the best JRPG ever made and it's only around 25-30 hours. Frankly, for as much as I enjoyed Persona 3 FES, I would be far more likely to replay it if its length fell below the fifty hour mark. Much of that length was possible because both Persona games include small areas that you run through many, many times, random dungeon floors consisting of pre-made tiles, and boatloads of writing and dialogue.
I can't say that I know what to expect from Persona 5. I'm pretty sure it's going to include everything that makes a Persona game (social links, dungeon-crawling at night, etc.). Or, at least, what made Persona 3 and 4 - I don't think the first and second games had those things. For right now, I mostly want to know what this game looks like. Is it a more realistic-looking anime style? Are the dungeons random or pre-designed? Are we going to get anime cutscenes or pre-rendered ones?

JEFF KEITHvocalsBorn: October 12, 1958 Birthplace: Texarkana, Arkansas Instrument: Lead Vocals Interests: People, Children, Animals, Music, Motorcycles, Football, Baseball, Basketball, as well as all sports. JK's biggest interest of all is LOVE!!! JK started singing at 24 years old while drivin' a semi truck delivering rock and septic tanks in the mountains of Northern California. He sang in a band with his brother called "Troubleshooter" before joining Frank Hannon and Brian Wheat in 1983 in their cover band called "City Kidd" which was later named "TESLA." He was born in Texarkana and grew up in Northern California as well as Idabel, Oklahoma, where he graduated High School and majored in FFA (Future Farmers of America) before moving back to Georgetown, California, a small mountain town in the Sierras. JK won a singing contest and was introduced to the guys through some friends who knew the band. Despite his lack of experience at the time, it was his unique and raspy voice that caught the band's ear. JK is a huge country music fan. As a matter of fact, he is about to release his first effort as a country artist with a couple of very good friends from Nashville, Tennessee, Kent Goodson and Pat "the other" Boone. The project will be titled "Jeff Keith and Country Music Friends." Kent Goodson is best known for his work as George Jones' keyboardist for 28 years, from 1982 – 2011. He has also played a big part in the songwriting and production department for the project. JK's other partner in CMF is Pat Boone (not the one with the white boots, that's why we call him Pat "the other" Boone). Pat is still George Jones' monitor engineer for over 10 years now, which still holds the record at that particular position. Pat's role in the project is not only in the songwriting department, but also as Captain of the pontoon boat on "Old Hickory Lake" where most of CMF's songs were written. JK hopes everybody will be very supportive in his passionate pursuit of a lifelong dream for his love of country music as well as enjoy the music! JK has always been about family, but now has a little family of his own. It all came to be by meeting the girl of his dreams, Vera (a.k.a. "Mrs. Hoss"). He is always saying "She's the one for me." That's not the only new girl in his life 'cause now he is the proud father of two beautiful daughters, Danielle and Courtney. He just walked Danielle down the aisle in 2010 in Eugene, Oregon, where she is happily married. Courtney is now a freshman in High School and is loving every minute of it as a 4.0 Honor Student. Last, but not least, is the fast mover and a shaker, swimmer, and a climbing little rugrat, Joe Bob Jeffrey. He's quite the little character. JK feels that there is nothing more pure in this world than a child. Unconditional love is the greatest!!! He would also like to extend his gratitude for the greatest fans in the world! You guys are the best!!! JK is an avid lover of animals and has a huge heart for rescuing homeless animals. One day, while walking into an Oakland Raiders game, a starving dog was wandering the parking lot looking for food and JK decided to skip the game and take him home. A short time later, when the band was recording the Real to Reel album in Texas, JK discovered a homeless mother dog with puppies, and he drove them all the way to his home in California. These acts of love were recognized by ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation) and JK received the "Evie Award" for his efforts. The dogs' names are "Okie", "Cali" and the pups. They are happy and healthy today.

Sale of reptiles for household pets soars in Hong Kong
HONG KONG—As Hong Kong prepares to usher in the Year of the Snake, an increasing number of the reptiles are slithering their way into local households, with sales of the uncuddly pet rocketing.
Keeping snakes has become increasingly popular in the densely populated city in recent years as animal lovers seek out less space-hungry pets.
And with the spotlight firmly on the reptile in the lead-up to the Lunar New Year today, sales have surged.
At Reptile Paradise, a store which first opened its doors in Hong Kong's Mong Kok neighborhood in 1994, dozens of baby snakes, not more than a few weeks old, frantically try to climb their way out of small plastic boxes.
As well as turtles and lizards the shop sells milk snakes, corn snakes, king snakes and ball pythons, plus containers of live white mice to feed them.
Rising sales
Its director, Vincent Cheung, said snake sales have been rising steadily for several months prior to the arrival of the new year.
"The increase for the past month and what I expect for the coming month is about 20 percent to 25 percent, compared with the last year," Cheung said.
He has sold 100 to 150 snakes in the past three months and remembers a similar spike in 2001, the previous Year of the Snake, with 20- and 30-something Hong Kongers the most eager customers.
"When the Year of the Snake comes, they really want to save their money to buy a snake for it. Keeping snakes is very simple compared to keeping other types of reptiles," said Cheung, adding that clients often learn how to raise and breed them on the Internet.
Mixed reputation
With real estate at a premium and rentals sky high, snakes appear to fit with the compact high-rise lifestyle of most of the city's residents, popular breeds in Hong Kong like the North American corn snake and milk snake only measure 10 inches when they are young, growing to around 47 inches.
But while popular pet reptiles such as the turtle represent luck, longevity and fortune, the snake has a mixed reputation in Chinese culture.
Although it can signify intelligence and happiness, it is also associated with tragedy—some believe that if a snake is found in the home it means impending disaster for the family concerned, though others feel that such a discovery brings good luck and peace.
In culinary terms it is held up as a delicacy in southern Chinese cuisine as well as a health booster, with thick soup made from snake meat thought to quicken the blood and ward off illness in winter.
Impress girls with snakes
In Hong Kong, practicality and a certain cool factor are fuelling sales, as well as money-making potential.
"Some people think it's a good idea to impress the girls with snakes and some people want to keep them to make money through breeding," said Gourry Chan, a director at Mong Kok's Turtle Park pet store.
Demand has also spiked in his shop in the lead-up to the new year, though he criticized those who simply want to get on the Year of the Snake bandwagon.
"There are a number of people who are genuinely interested in keeping snakes—but lately there have been more people coming in, and if they say they are doing it for the Year of the Snake, we discourage them," he said.
A snake can live up to 20 years and it takes dedication to keep one. Some are sold online when their owners get bored or they die from neglect.
Unsuitable pets
Animal protection groups also warn against buying a snake on a whim.
"There are many species of snake and all require unique habitats, including the right temperature and humidity to accomplish various physiological and behavioral processes. There are huge commitments behind keeping snakes and the SPCA [Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] does not recommend it to be a suitable household pet," said the SPCA's Dr. Fiona Woodhouse.
Bad diet, poor care
Bad diet and poor care often leave pet snakes dehydrated and with bone deformities, while keeping them in small containers leaves them stressed and prone to disease.
The reality may also be more gruesome than buyers realize.
"Many snakes require the feeding of live mice and although some can be trained to eat dead food, many can't," the SPCA said, adding that it feared that unwanted snakes would end up abandoned.
Turtle Park's Chan says he'll make sure his customers know the nitty-gritty before snapping up a snake.
"As a pet enthusiast myself, I feel that I have a responsibility to tell them it isn't right to buy on impulse," he said.

Geospatial Analysts in the United States take home an average $64K per year. Compensation for this group is mainly affected by location, but the company and years of experience are influential factors as well. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Geospatial Analysts. Most Geospatial Analysts survey respondents are men (77 percent). Almost all report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a large number collect dental insurance.

Modern society relies on accurate mapping technology and the wealth of secondary data it provides; from transportation infrastructure to construction to logistics management to marketing, precision in geocoding is vital. A geospatial analyst is responsible for developing ways to obtain useful data from geographical information bases and systems so that the information can be used in a wide variety of industries and fields. This is accomplished through many different methods, such as physical maps/overlays and advanced computer analysis methods and mapping software.Read More...
Geospatial analysts are required to be detail-oriented and analytical. They must be able to identify and extract useful results from large amounts of geographical data, as well as develop the methods by which that data is used. A strong understanding of geography and the tools by which geography is understood, such as surveying methodology and GPS, are also vital to the position.
The most common educational requirement for prospective geospatial analysts is a master's degree in geographic information systems (GIS) or a related field. Some employers only require a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline, and others may be willing to offer on-the-job training. Previous experience in cartography, drafting, engineering, and surveying are generally required or preferred.
Geospatial Analysts flock to BAE Systems Inc. for generous paychecks, where average earnings of $71K lead the pack in compensation.
Geospatial Analysts typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Those who have experience with Geospatial Intelligence, Geographic Information Systems, and Remote Sensing can expect to be compensated well for these skills. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Remote Sensing. Most people skilled in Geographic Information Systems are similarly competent in Remote Sensing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Geospatial Analysts with a rich background of experience are typically rewarded with larger paychecks. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $51K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $66K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Geospatial Analysts who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $76K. Geospatial Analysts with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $77K.

NCAA Football 11
passing game is rigged by cheating AI
It's fairly unrealistic how passing works in this game. Tired of defenders INSTANTLY reacting to passes to get picks.
Case 1: LB will sit in zone coverage and leave a 5 yard cushion to the side for your WR. The pass is like 8 yards down field. Try to throw a bullet into the WR? Nope. LB will bolt over instantly at full speed and pick it off or deflect it.
Case 2: I'll have two crossing patterns going in opposite directions across midfield. I'll wait for them to pass by each other and then toss it to the guy in the back. The defender covering my WR doing the shorter crossing pattern will immediately go 180 and pick off or deflect the pass to the other WR AFTER THE ROUTES HAVE ALREADY CROSSED EACH OTHER.
I'm sorry, but there's two things this "brilliant" AI doesn't factor in: reaction time, and inertia of a player.
Smarter AI? More like unrealistic AI. This game does not reward good decision making due to the way defenders react. This instant response time is particularly enraging when they play zone coverage, but as can be seen in case 2, it also has an impact on man coverage.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
That fuzz-pop ripcord of a hook and the hail of neurotic referents—did they sneak in a Will Cullen Hart shout-out?—are there to divert you from the money shot: "There's nothing more sacred than you standing next to me." A potent burst of kidult lust, just in time for summer.
It's astonishing how near and dear a numbing throb becomes after just a few moments—and how devastating a lone guitar blare can seem in its pulsating wake.
Never, ever chug a case of Red Bull prior to attending live spectaculars by synth-driven prog outfits; the results probably sound a lot like "Skull."
Skin Graft
This solo noise project of Cleveland's Wyatt Howland highlights a technique under-utilized in his genre: the warping of raw, sandpaper sound into anti-gravity funnels. "Shock" is less shock 'n' snarl than a carefully calibrated series of sucking sounds, bobbing and weaving and mutating.
Somewhere in the depths of a speakeasy, an intoxicatingly magical atmosphere entirely indistinct from immediate physical surroundings, early aughts. Q-Tip and J. Dilla on the wheels of steel, tilting a room that already exists at an unnatural angle.

One control method to avoid is the beetle traps sold in many stores. Research performed by many universities has shown that the pheromone traps attract more beetles to a property than they catch. In essence, you are sending the beetles a message to come eat in your yard. If you have a large property (several acres in size) you can use the traps to draw the beetles away from your gardens.

I have a Rails 3 app ready for staging.
I haven't got a VPS host set up yet. As I was planning to have everything on shared host for the first few months.
cd myapp bundle check result:
The Gemfile's dependencies are satisfied
Passenger error:
Error message:
no such file to load -- bundler
Exception class:
Frustrating thing about shared hosts is that I have to add these lines on config.ru:
ENV['GEM_HOME'] = '/home/username/.gems'
ENV['GEM_PATH'] = '$GEM_HOME:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8'
Still no luck. Same no such file to load bundler error appears.
Has anybody got this working? Rails 3, Debian, shared host (dreamhost)?
I could just go ahead and register on Slicehost/Fivebean but before I do, I'd like to know why that error is showing up.

Remember Me
JamBase | Boston
Go See Live Music!
cheifin on that blueberry yum-yum
havnt heard much from these guys but plan to check it at rothbury
^^^ dude you want to hear some sick shit, get "DO YOU WANT MORE"
the roots are fuckin BAAAALLLLS!
do you want more is by far their best shiet.
Treetophigh, unless you have some info that none of us have, your gonna have a hard time seeing these guys at Rothbury, because they are not scheduled to play. Believe me, I wish they were. But they will be kickin'ass on 4/20 in DC for Free son. With Umphreys McFree!
even though they were about a half hour late and even eneded their set about 15 min. early, i loved thier set at Langerado. not a huge hip hop fan, i dig J5 and a few others but they kill it too man. the best part was in the middle of the set they jsut had Questlove, Cspt. Kirk and Tuba Gooding Jr. play a rewriten verion of the "Star Spangeld Banner", a Dylan song which the name of is illuding me at the moment, and a sick instrumental version of Jimi Hendrix "Machine Gun", completely unexpected but probaly one of my top 3 highlights from Langerado.
Masters of War is the Dylan song phreak is trying to think of.
last time I saw The Roots was Crystalballroom Portland Or. it was insanely good!! Soon after Jamse Brown passed and they did a tribute that blew my mind!!! Besides that they always find a way to be able to hang out with fans to burn it down after shows gotta love local gardeners
Roots played a hell of a version of masters of war at roo 07. Where are the pictures of Toots though? This show had Luda The Roots and Toots and the Maytals on the bill. Makes me wish I hadn't left Northeastern now!
"I tell you one lesson I learned
If you want to be something in life
You ain't gonna get it unless
You give a little bit of sacrifice
Ooohh, sometimes before you smile you got to cry
You need a heart that's filled with music
If you use it you can fly
If you want to be high"
Such wise words from Black Thought. I'm looking forward to seeing them this summer in Omaha.
The Roots were super bad on the Colbert Report the other night, down to the guitarist smashing his instrument at the end of the National Anthem. Nice pics, especially fun to see backstage shots. Luda looks, as always, like he's enjoying life WAY more than the rest of us fools...
I was at this show and Toots actually opened up as well. The sound guy really sucked, but even still, the Roots were pretty nasty. I'm not sure if they do this every time, but they played like a 20 minute montage of old school rap songs and it was sick. Also, we all know that ?uestlove is nasty, but their guitar player can rip too. I dunno about their new bass player tho.
The roots in pittsburgh last nite was sick!!!!!!the dylan cover was awesome......Mad love!!!!
i was there too, great roots performance, though it was shorter than i would have liked. i think the bass solo would have been a LOT better in a different venue, the soundguy definitely sucked. tuba gooding jr. was a beast though on the sousaphone.
why no pics of toots? funky kingston was amazing
peaton: yeah the montage of covers is called "Hip-Hop 101"... they do it at all their shows

Meet the AGCO Biomass Solutions Team!
In an attempt to harness the potential of the growing biomass industry, AGCO launched its first marketing group specific to this area of agriculture. The biomass marketing group is led by its marketing manager, Glenn Farris, and his business equipment and development specialist, Ken Wagenbach.
Ken leads biomass harvesting equipment design improvements and helps partners set up, maintain and operate equipment for optimum productivity, efficiency and reliability.
Q&A with Ken:
What are some of the advantages of biomass energy production?
Biomass energy is renewable and environmentally sustainable; it reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and our carbon footprint at the same time. In biomass energy production, the agriculture sector has a way to reduce production cost while increasing yields and revenues.
What's the most interesting thing you've learned about biomass since joining the AGCO Biomass Solutions team?
Biomass hits at all the core competencies of AGCO products. Properly managing crops/land and soil/water, be it purpose grown or crop residue, and renewable energy political policies have equal impact on the economy of the producer.
What is some good advice for a farmer who is interested in incorporating biomass into his or her operation?
Regardless of one's current opinion on government policies on renewable fuels, meeting the world demand for food and fiber in 2020 and beyond will require higher yields. With higher yields and the genetics needed to get there, crop residue in the future will require very heavy tillage, new equipment design and/or removal of it entirely. As farmers/producers, we WILL need the cellulosic outlet that biomass provides.
Have a question for Ken? Email him your question here: email@example.com.

Scottish Distillery is Going Green with Biomass Boiler
Biomass solutions are making news in Scotland as the Balmenach Distillery in Speyside receives funding from the UK Green Investment Bank (GIB). The £5M in funding from the GIB is part of a larger project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut fuel costs from distilleries in the Scottish Highlands. The Balmenach Distillery in Speyside will use the £1M of funds allocated to their improvements to replace the distillery's current oil-fired boiler with a biomass boiler. Two other distilleries, Tomatin Distillery near Inverness and Aberfeldy Distillery in Perthshire, have already benefited from the £5M in funding announced last month from the GIB.
Whisky is one of Scotland's best-known manufactured products. The Scotch Whisky Association is striving to reduce energy costs as part of its goals for going green.The Balmenach Distillery is the producer of Caorunn Gin, known as a super-premium small batch Scottish Gin infused with handpicked botanicals inspired by the Celtic tradition. As one of the oldest distilleries in Speyside, the Balmenach Distillery can trace back its roots to 1824. While closing its doors in 1993, the Inver Distillers Group — owned by ThaiBev, a leading Asian drinks business — bought the distillery in 1998 to reopen it for business.
The installation of the new biomass boiler at the Balmenach Distillery will reduce energy costs to a third of current energy costs as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5,000 tons a year. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at the Balmenach distillery is the equivalent of taking over 2,200 cars off the road. The new biomass boiler will allow for cost-effective renewable energy and will produce steam necessary for the whisky production process.
The installment of biomass boiler systems at the Tomatin Distillery and Aberfeldy Distillery has already seen an 80% reduction in greenhouse emissions and fuel costs.
Rob Cormie, group operations director of the GIB, said, "…Projects like this provide a sustainable supply of renewable energy; save distilleries money and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. With limited capital investment, distilleries can save money from day one while also helping to meet the industry's ambitious green targets."

Glenn Farris Joins Panel Discussion at the Department of Energy's Biomass 2014 Conference
On July 29 and 30, 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) hosted its seventh annual conference — Biomass 2014: Growing the Future Bioeconomy. As in past years, Biomass 2014 brought together top government officials and members of Congress — with industry leaders and experts from across the bioenergy supply chain — to continue the ongoing dialogue about the critical challenges and key opportunities for the industry.
AGCO Biomass Solutions Marketing Manager Glenn Farris sat on a panel discussing "Advances in Bioenergy Feedstocks — From Field to Fuel." This session focused on the critical importance of feedstocks, their impact of the bioenergy supply chain, and the challenges facing OEM's such as AGCO in this growing market. Joining Mr. Farris on the esteemed panel was J. Richard Hess, Director of Energy Systems & Technology Division at Idaho National Lab, and Allen Julian, Chief Business Officer at MBI. The panel was moderated by Alison Goss Eng, Acting Program Manager of Feedstock Supply and Logistics at BETO.
To learn more about opportunities for new feedstock technologies, please email: email@example.com.

Biomass Upstarts
These four crops are generating additional revenue for farmers. AGCO brands are helping make that happen.
What's not to love about switchgrass? The perennial develops a strong root system that holds highly erodible land in place. Plus, those farmers who've already planted switchgrass know about its long-lasting stands—at least 10 years—and that it makes great wildlife habitat. Now there is better news: more biofuel markets in the future.
Corn Stover
Since ample supplies of stover are a given, using corn stover for biofuel seems like the perfect plan. For 2013, corn acres in the U.S. were estimated at 97 million and Canadian acres at 3.6 million, with 2.5 million of those in Ontario. There isn't much of a learning curve either. If you can grow corn, you automatically know how to grow stover.
Miscanthus, a perennial, is another up-and-comer for the biomass market. However, says Iowa State University Professor Emily Heaton, "I spend a lot of time managing grower expectations about the crop. If you want to plant a half-acre or an acre to play with, that's fine. But let's [watch what happens] with the corn stover market first."
Sweet Sorgham
Sweet sorghum is tailor made for biofuel production. "It is easier to make ethanol out of it than [with] corn," says University of Missouri extension agronomist Gene Stevens. "It is already in sugar form. Just add yeast to start the fermentation." And as an annual, producers do not have to make a long-term commitment.

Thermochemical Processing: Converting Biomass into Fuels and Chemicals
By: Robert C. Brown, Director, and Robert Mills, Communications Specialist, Bioeconomy Institute, Iowa State University
The use of fermentation to produce ethanol from corn and other biomass is well known in the agricultural world. There are, however, other technologies that can convert biomass into fuels and chemicals. Foremost among these are thermochemical processes, which use heat and catalysis to break down biomass to intermediates that can be upgraded to transportation fuels.
One advantage of thermochemical processing is that the end result can be "drop-in fuels," those that are fully compatible with the existing fuel infrastructure. While not perfect, these drop-in fuels are good enough to run in today's engines without modification.
Another advantage to thermochemical processing is that most systems can work with a variety of biomass feedstocks. Often the feedstock is lignocellulosic biomass, such as corn stover, switchgrass, miscanthus, wood, etc. But thermochemical processing can also use lipid-rich biomass such as distillers dried grains and algae as well as mixed wastes from commercial and municipal sources.
There are two basic types of thermochemical processing, indirect and direct liquefaction. Indirect liquefaction includes gasification, where the solid biomass is heated to create synthesis gas, or syngas, that is subsequently upgraded to liquid fuels. Various catalysts are then used to convert the gas into alcohols or hydrocarbons. The advantages of gasification is that the process produces a uniform product and it is commercially proven. Gasification, however, requires technologies to clean the gases, which are still under development, and the capital costs can be high.
Direct liquefaction uses heat and pressure to convert the biomass into liquids which can then be further upgraded into finished products. Direct liquefaction includes pyrolysis and solvent liquefaction. In the case of pyrolysis, biomass is heated in the absence of oxygen. The process yields bio-oil, syngas, and a solid product known as biochar. The bio-oil can be upgraded to drop-in fuels. Pyrolysis can be performed at relatively small scales, allowing it to take place close to the source of biomass rather than moving biomass to one large, centralized processing facility. One of the major problems with pyrolysis is that the bio-oil is unstable, complicating its conversion into fuels.
At Iowa State University, we have invented a process to condense the pyrolysis gases in fractions, resulting in better, more stable products. The economics of fast pyrolysis are promising. In addition to producing fuels and chemicals from the bio-oil, the biochar may also have economic value. Consisting mostly of carbon, biochar can be used a soil amendment, helping retain moisture and nutrients. There is also research underway to use biochar as a filter medium for purifying water.
Solvent liquefaction, or solvolysis, is similar to pyrolysis except that it is performed in a solvent at elevated pressure. Though the fundamental chemistry of solvolysis is not well understood, the technology has promising economics. The process can upgrade bio-oil in a way similar to oil refining, and it can create sugars which can be further upgraded without expensive enzymes.
In addition to extensive research into thermochemical technologies, there are also many efforts underway to commercialize these technologies. Like all start-ups, these efforts have met with various degrees of success. There are, however, several pilot-scale systems being tested and commercial plants being built.
Bioenergy is a complex topic. There are many pathways from raw material to finished product. What's more, bioenergy technology must be viewed in context of larger energy issues and policies. You can learn more in a book written for the general public, "Why are We Producing Biofuels," by Robert C. Brown and Tristan R. Brown. The book is available on Amazon. You can read the first chapter for free online at: http://www.brownia.com/content/whyareweproducingbiofuels_excerpt.pdf.
