Churchill exhibition at Bletchley Park is scrapped after museum bosses claim the wartime prime minister 'is not synonymous' with code-breakers' work
- Chief executive of museum likened collection to 'Charles and Diana mugs'
- Wartime prime minister ensured code-breakers had vital resources
- Bletchley Park played huge role in ensuring an Allied victory
Scrapped: A collection about Winston Churchill is to be taken down at Bletchley Park
The new chief executive of a museum dedicated to the Second World War code-breakers has sparked anger after announcing plans to remove Winston Churchill memorabilia.
Iain Standen said having a collection about the wartime prime minister was 'not synonymous' with Bletchley Park, in Buckinghamshire, and likened it to having 'Charles and Diana mugs in someone's house'.
The trustees plan to take down the collection of pictures, posters, books, pamphlets and busts because they are not see as relevant.
Churchill once described the code-breakers who cracked the German's Enigma code as 'the geese that laid the golden eggs - but never cackled.'
According to the museum's website, the privately-owned collection has many rare and interesting pieces and fascinating stories that enthrall visiting pupils.
The displays chronologically illustrate events and episodes in Churchill's life.
A selection of Churchill's broadcast speeches is also available for students to hear.
Examples of his literary works and reproductions of his paintings can be seen, and the displays span from his birth in 1874 through to his schooling, military career, political life, premiership, his likes and leisure pursuits, and finally his state funeral.
Vital: Bletchley Park played a crucial role in ensuring an Allied victory in World War Two
Students are also allowed to ring the bell of The Havengore, the launch used to carry Sir Winston's coffin up the river Thames.
Historian Sarah Lambert, of Goldsmith's, University of London, said the exhibition must be protected and remain accessible to the public.
She told the Daily Express: 'This shows that history needs more funding so people are not put in the position of choosing one thing over another.'
Historic: Wrens working on the Enigma code-breaking operation in Bletchley Park
Getting the message: One of Bletchley Park's computing machines in action during World War Two
Instead, the Churchill exhibition will be replaced with stories of the people who worked at the intelligence-gathering station near Milton Keynes during the war.
Mr Standen said the Churchill Collection was not museum-standard but just 'one man's obsession'.
It is feared other displays such as the Pigeons At War exhibition could also be scrapped following a £7.5million restoration of the site.
The code-breakers wrote to Churchill in 1941 pleading for more resources.
The prime minister ordered immediate action to make sure they had everything needed to carry out their vital work.
Father of the modern computer Alan Turing who led the team of Enigma code-breakers at Bletchley Park
But Mr Standen said: 'Bletchley Park is moving into a very exciting period in its development as we begin to undertake a partly publicly funded major restoration project which will start the process of turning the Park into a national, and in time we hope world class, heritage attraction.
'Part of this process involves working towards achieving national museum accreditation and as such we no longer have the space or are in the position to play host to a number of privately owned collections which are not focused on the World War Two Code-breaking story.
'As a result we have reviewed the terms on which a number of such collections occupy space in the Park and have recently written to all outlining the specific conditions pertinent to each.
'Winston Churchill's unerring support for Bletchley Park and the value of signals intelligence during World War Two, were clearly vital to the success of the operation.
'However, an individual's collection of Churchill memorabilia does not tell this story.
'In short this is an interesting and exciting time for the Bletchley Park Trust, but with such developments as we are currently undergoing, there will inevitably be change.
'This may not please everyone, but the Bletchley Park Trustees are clear that what we are doing at the moment is necessary and important for the long-term future of the Park.'
During the war Bletchley Park housed the government's secret Code and Cypher School, which obtained signals intelligence by breaking high-level encrypted enemy communications.
It was also home to the Colossus machine, the first programmable electronic computer.
The Colossus and the Turing Bombe Machine, an an electromechanical device designed by English mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, were used to break codes created by the German Enigma encryption and decryption machine, which is also on display at Bletchley Park.
The importance of the code-breaking operations at Bletchley Park cannot be underestimated.
They produced vital intelligence that played a huge part in swinging the war in the Allies' favour.
By 1944 British and American commanders knew the location of 58 out of 60 German divisions across the Western Front.
In addition, a great deal of information was decrypted about General Erwin Rommel's Nazi forces in North Africa.
The German commander enjoyed a great deal of success against the British but with the help of intelligence from the code-breakers General Bernard Montgomery's British forces were able to drive him back in 1942.
Discussions with the owners of all the other private collections on the Bletchley Park site are ongoing.

Life cycle assessment of bio-oil from woody biomass through two pathways was carried out using a one-step pathway that utilizes fast pyrolysis of pine and a two-step pathway that incorporates a torrefaction step prior to fast pyrolysis. A two-step pathway with torrefaction at a temperature of 330 °C and pyrolysis at 530 °C had a global warming potential of about 6 g CO2 equivalent per MJ of bio-oil compared to about 39 g CO2 equivalent per MJ of bio-oil for a one-step pathway using an energy allocation-based analysis. For a one-step pathway, the size reduction step made the highest contribution of over 50% of the overall global warming potential. Greenhouse gas (GHG) savings of up to 80% compared to heavy fuel oil (HFO) were achieved for a two-step pathway in comparison to a one-step pathway due to savings in size reduction energy. The use of renewable energy sources produced internally to provide process heat either by first burning char and then condensables from torrefaction (oil) or vice versa resulted in similar global warming potential reduction in comparison to use of natural gas to provide process heat. The bio-oil production pathways were found to be more sustainable in comparison to HFO due to relying chiefly on renewable biomass rather than fossil energy. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd]]>
The alternative energy sector is expanding quickly in the USA since passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Increased interest in wood-based bioenergy has led to the need for robust modeling methods to analyze woody biomass operations at landscape scales. However, analyzing woody biomass operations in regions like the US Inland Northwest is difficult due to highly variable terrain and wood characteristics. We developed the Forest Residue Economic Assessment Model (FREAM) to better integrate with Geographical Information Systems and overcome analytical modeling limitations. FREAM analyzes wood-based bioenergy logistics systems and provides a modeling platform that can be readily modified to analyze additional study locations. We evaluated three scenarios to test the FREAM's utility: a local-scale scenario in which a catalytic pyrolysis process produces gasoline from 181 437 Mg yr−1 of forest residues, a regional-scale scenario that assumes a biochemical process to create aviation fuel from 725 748 Mg yr−1 of forest residues, and an international scenario that assumes a pellet mill producing pellets for international markets from 272 155 Mg yr−1 of forest residues. The local scenario produced gasoline for a modeled cost of $22.33 GJ−1*, the regional scenario produced aviation fuel for a modeled cost of $35.83 GJ−1 and the international scenario produced pellets for a modeled cost of $10.51 GJ−1. Results show that incorporating input from knowledgeable stakeholders in the designing of a model yields positive results. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
The primary feedstock choice for most first-generation commercial cellulosic biorefineries in the Midwest is corn stover. Their rated capacities are between 76 and 114 million liters per year (MLPY). For uninterrupted operation of these plants, a year-round supply of corn stover needs to be secured, requiring a robust, efficient, and cost-effective feedstock supply system. Thus, the main objective of this work is to stochastically analyze the techno-economics of corn stover supply system for a 114 MLPY cellulosic biorefinery in the Midwest using production-scale experimental field data collected in Iowa. This study analyzes the resources requirements (equipment, labor, fuel, and consumables) and costs of different components of the supply chain that include harvesting (windrowing and baling), in-field bale collection and stacking at the field-edge, handling and transportation of bales from the field-edge to the distributed storage facilities and then to the biorefinery plant, storage, and finally the audit of nutrients removed during stover collection from the field. Additionally, this study identifies and ranks different supply chain parameters based on their relative influence on the overall resources and costs requirements. A 114 MLPY cellulosic biorefinery annually requires around 0.95 million corn stover bales supply, 250 000 hours equivalent of labor and 4.3 million L of diesel fuel. The average cost of biorefinery gate delivered corn stover is estimated to be 121.9 $-std. t−1. This cost is identified to be the most sensitive to bale density followed by harvest rate, bale length, baler field efficiency, and annual harvest days. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Linear programming was used to optimize the economic, environmental, and social impacts of forest biomass used for bioenergy production. Sixteen scenarios (combinations of feedstocks, products, markets, and end use) were studied. Two feedstocks (roundwood and wood residues), two densified bioenergy products (white pellet, torrefied pellet), two markets (domestic, international), and two end uses (power generation, district heating) were evaluated. The social, environmental, and economic sustainability attributes were quantified and monetized using peer-reviewed literature to analyze the trade-offs. Using the economic criteria alone, the model showed that the best solution was use of 70% roundwood and 30% forest residue feedstock to produce torrefied pellets (TP) sold for district heating in the EU. The model predicts $5.4 million annual profit which is driven by the use of lower cost forest residue feedstocks, and relatively higher prices for the heating market in the EU. Inclusion of all three sustainability attributes led to a different optimized solution. TP produced from roundwood and sold to the EU market for heating was the optimum, due to the social benefits derived from increased local income to landowners and reduced shipping costs. It also had added benefits of reductions in emissions across the transportation system on an energy basis. TP consistently had higher social benefits than WP due to the need for more biomass per unit of final product, and providing more local jobs and income from feedstock production. The increasing costs of carbon emissions increased the environmental benefits of TP compared to WP or coal. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
In this paper, eight optimal biorefinery concepts for biofuels and biochemicals production are critically analyzed and compared in terms of their techno-economic performance and associated economic risks against historical market fluctuations. The investigated biorefinery concepts consider different combinations of biomass feedstock (lignocellulosic versus algal) and conversion technologies (biochemical versus thermochemical). In addition, the economic performance of each biorefinery concept is tested assuming a sudden drop in oil prices in order to compare the fitness/survival of each concept under extreme market disturbances. The analyses reveal amongst others that: (i) lignocellulosic bioethanol production is not economically feasible considering a drop in oil prices (a negative internal rate of return); (ii) a multi-product biorefinery concept, where bioethanol is upgraded to higher value-added chemicals (diethyl ether and 1,3-butadiene), provides an improved resilience and robustness against market price fluctuations by reducing economic loss by 140 MM$/a (17% IRR); (iii) the economic analysis favors biochemical conversion technologies for a small production/processing capacity, whereas the thermochemical conversion platform is favored for a relatively larger production capacity; and (iv) the microalgae-based biorefinery concept performed worse in terms of economics compared to the others, which is largely due to the cost of algae production and harvesting. In general, we recommend that a comprehensive economic risk analysis, using for example the Monte Carlo technique, should be an integral part of the conceptual design, development, and optimization of biorefineries to help improve their economic robustness in view of the competitive market for chemicals and fuels. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Microalgae can serve as a highly productive biological feedstock for fuels and chemicals. The lipid fraction has been the primary target of research, but numerous assessments have found that valorization of co-products is essential to achieve economic and environmental goals. The relative proportion of co-products depends on the biomolecular composition of algae at the time of harvesting. In the present study, the productivity of lipid, starch, and protein fractions were shown through growth experiments to vary widely with species, feeding regime, and harvesting period. Four algae species were cultivated under nitrogen-replete and -deplete conditions and analyzed at 3-day intervals. Dynamic growth results were then used for life cycle assessment using the US Department of Energy's GREET model to determine optimal growth scenarios that minimize life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, eutrophication, and cumulative energy demand (CED), while aiming for an energy return on investment (EROI) greater than unity. Per kg of biodiesel produced, C. sorokiniana in N-replete conditions harvested at 12 days was most favorable for GHG emissions and CED, despite having a lipid content of <20%. N. oculata in N-deplete conditions with a 12-day harvesting period had the lowest life cycle eutrophication impacts, driven by efficient nutrient cycling and valorization of microalgal protein and anaerobic digester residue co-products. Results indicate that growth cycle times that maximize a single fraction do not necessarily result in the most favorable environmental performance on a life cycle basis, underscoring the importance of designing biorefinery systems that -simultaneously optimize for lipid and non-lipid fractions. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Universal access to modern energy is required if the world is to reduce poverty and enable sustainable development. Energy poverty is the lack of access to safe and efficient energy carriers. It affects more than 1.3 billion people without electricity and 2.7 billion without appropriate cooking facilities and fuels, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Under these conditions, people rely on traditional biomass to fulfil basic needs. Traditional biomass use causes death and disease associated with indoor air pollution, high labor demands to obtain biomass, and environmental damage due to deforestation. This paper analyzes the potential for modern energy production based on sugarcane in SSA. A standard, business-as-usual (BAU), sugar-based project is explored vis-à-vis more aggressive scenarios for producing modern energy, including electricity, ethanol, and solid fuel pellets. All scenarios considered are based on a single sugarcane mill processing one million tonnes of cane per year, grown in an area of 15 000 hectares. Our simulations show that over 210 000 households could be served with electricity and other 31 000 with modern cooking fuels under the scenarios examined. Less dependence on traditional biomass may also spare wooded environments from deforestation. However, harnessing modern energy from sugarcane does not come without challenges. Economic pitfalls (e.g. investment costs and affordability) coupled with poor political environments are among the main obstacles. Nevertheless, encouraging local and regional trends proved bioenergy a feasible way out of energy poverty and an alternative to sustainable development. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Building on an extensive literature review that included peer-reviewed publications, grey literature, national statistics, official reports, and regulations enacted by the Colombian government, this paper identifies opportunities, challenges, and constraints faced by solid biofuels production from energy crops in Colombia. Our findings suggest that the solid biofuels industry currently lacks policy regulations and an adequate research framework. The paper notes the industry's market potential and addresses its dependency on a legal framework, political willingness, and technological developments. The legal framework includes land ownership formalization, job regulations, and the definition of environmental and administrative permits. Political willingness relates to governmental policies and financial incentives based on environmental and sustainability criteria, which can make the sector competitive compared to other energy sources at the local and international market scales. The technological aspects include public and private support for research and development programs and a strategic analysis of industry-specific requirements for infrastructure, conversion, and transportation within a life cycle assessment framework. The preliminary land-use analysis suggests the potential availability of land for solid biofuels production in the Caribbean, Andean, Inter-Andean Valley, and Orinoco regions. Furthermore, the results show that solid biofuels production can potentially supply internal demand and play a role in international markets with strategic development and government support. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
The widespread deployment of commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol currently hinges on developing and evaluating scalable processes whilst broadening feedstock options. This study investigates whole Eucalyptus grandis trees as a potential feedstock and demonstrates dilute acid pre-treatment (with steam explosion) followed by pre-saccharification simultaneous saccharification fermentation process (PSSF) as a suitable, scalable strategy for the production of bioethanol. Biomass was pre-treated in dilute H2SO4 at laboratory scale (0.1 kg) and pilot scale (10 kg) to evaluate the effect of combined severity factor (CSF) on pre-treatment effectiveness. Subsequently, pilot-scale pre-treated residues (15 wt.%) were converted to ethanol in a PSSF process at 2 L and 300 L scales. Good polynomial correlations (n = 2) of CSF with hemicellulose removal and glucan digestibility with a minimum R2 of 0.91 were recorded. The laboratory-scale 72 h glucan digestibility and glucose yield was 68.0% and 51.3%, respectively, from biomass pre-treated at 190 °C /15 min/ 4.8 wt.% H2SO4. Pilot-scale pre-treatment (180 °C/ 15 min/2.4 wt.% H2SO4 followed by steam explosion) delivered higher glucan digestibility (71.8%) and glucose yield (63.6%). However, the ethanol yields using PSSF were calculated at 82.5 and 113 kg/ton of dry biomass for the pilot and the laboratory scales, respectively. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
In this study, published experimental works on catalytic transesterification were analyzed to determine the most important variables affecting fatty acid conversion and the most suitable ranges of these variables for high performance. A database of 1324 data points was constructed from the experimental results in 31 representative papers published between 2008 and 2014, and this database was analyzed using artificial neural network (ANN) and decision tree (DT) techniques. It was found from ANN analysis that the most important variable for high fatty acid conversion was reaction time (with about 40% relative importance) followed by catalyst loading, alcohol:oil molar ratio, operating temperature, and support type with similar relative importance (about 10% each). DT analysis revealed 14 combinations of conditions leading to high performance, and some of these seemed to be generalizable for the use for the future studies; some heuristics were also derived from these generalizable conditions. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Significant changes are ahead of us: most notably, the world's population is projected to increase by almost one billion people within the next decade and the global middle class is expected to nearly triple by 2030. These trends add pressure to the world economic system and environment: greenhouse gas emissions keep growing at global scale, materials and energy sources are fast approaching their physical limits, and the amount of waste produced under the current system seems to be reaching a new peak. Against this background, a transition from a society heavily based on mass consumption, uncontrolled waste generation, and heavy fossil-fuels exploitation toward one based on resource-efficiency, new production and consumption behaviours, waste reduction, reuse, and valorization, seems a desirable and much-needed feat. This change involves a paradigm shift, which goes beyond technological change – it involves big societal and institutional changes as much as the development of radically new technologies and would give rise, in a long-term perspective, to the beginning of a new long wave of sustained (and sustainable) growth. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Aviation is responsible for an increasing share of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Decarbonization to 2050 is expected to rely on renewable jet fuel (RJF) derived from biomass, but this represents a radical departure from the existing regime of petroleum-based fuels. Increased market deployment will require significant cost reductions, alongside adaptation of existing supply chains and infrastructure. This paper maps development and manufacturing efforts for six RJF production pathways expected to reach commercialization in the next 5–10 years. A Rapid Evidence Assessment was conducted to evaluate the technological and commercial maturity of each pathway and progress toward international certification, using the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative's Fuel Readiness Level (FRL) framework. Planned and operational facilities have been cataloged alongside partnerships with the aviation industry. Policy and economic factors likely to affect future development and deployment are considered. Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (FRL 9) is the most developed pathway. It is ASTM certified, has fuelled the majority of RJF flights to date, and is produced at three commercial-scale facilities. Fischer-Tropsch derived fuels are moving toward the start-up of first commercial facilities (FRL 7 and 8), although widespread deployment seems unlikely under current market conditions. The Direct Sugars to Hydrocarbons conversion pathway (FRL 5–7) is being championed by Amyris and Total in Brazil, but has yet to be demonstrated at scale. Other pathways are in the demonstration and pilot phases (FRL 4–6). Despite growing interest in RJF, demand and production volumes remain negligible. Development of supportive policy is likely to be critical to future deployment. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) is a readily available, lignocellulosic biomass that has potential to be utilized as a carbon substrate for microbial oil production. In order to evaluate the production of microbial oil from EFB, a technical study was performed through the cultivation of oleaginous micro-organisms (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Aspergillus oryzae, and Mucor plumbeus) on EFB hydrolyzates. EFB hydrolyzates were prepared through dilute acid pre-treatment of the biomass, where the liquid fraction of pre-treatment was detoxified and used as an EFB liquid hydrolyzate (EFBLH). The solid residue was enzymatically hydrolyzed prior to be used as an EFB enzymatic hydrolyzate (EFBEH). The highest oil concentrations were obtained from M. plumbeus (1.9 g/L of oil on EFBLH and 4.7 g/L of oil on EFBEH). In order to evaluate the feasibility of large-scale microbial oil production, a techno-economic study was performed based on the oil yields of M. plumbeus per hectare of plantation, followed by the estimation of the feedstock cost for oil production. Other oil palm biomasses (frond and trunk) were also included in this study, as it could potentially improve the economics of large-scale microbial oil production. Microbial oil from oil palm biomasses was estimated to potentially increase oil production in the palm oil industry up to 25%, at a cheaper feedstock cost. The outcome of this study demonstrates the potential integration of microbial oil production from oil palm biomasses with existing palm oil industry (biodiesel, food and oleochemicals production), that could potentially enhance sustainability and profitability of microbial oil production. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
An economical supply of biomass feedstock is an essential part of any biorefinery project. With procurement costs accounting for nearly 50% of operating costs, current biomass supply chain and procurement operations must be continuously improved to reduce procurement costs. Strategic negotiations between the farmer (the producer) and the end user (the biorefinery), in which both parties benefit, should also take place. This study examines procurement supply chains for triticale, for a biorefinery, and proposes a financial model that will satisfy both producer and end user. A biomass cost model was developed to determine the procurement costs of triticale biomass. Several biomass procurement supply chain alternatives were evaluated. Results from the study determined that a biorefinery would pay $225 per tonne of biomass for the delivery of 250 002 tonnes of triticale grain and 265 791 tonnes of triticale straw per year. In addition, the study shows that increased yields of triticale and its similarities in growing and harvesting methods with currently produced agricultural crops will rapidly enable it to become a viable feedstock source for biorefineries. The biomass procurement strategy described appears to be an attractive alternative for producers and provides a good basis for furnishing a long-term cost-competitive supply of feedstock to the triticale biorefinery. This financial model is based on the premise that the risk and cost of developing increasingly engineered triticale crops will be borne by the biorefinery owner. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

A key question for food, biofuels, and bioproducts production is how agriculture affects the environment, and social and economic development. In Brazil, a large agricultural producer and among the biologically wealthiest of nations, this question is challenging and opinions often clash. The Brazilian parliament and several stakeholders have recently debated the revision of the Forest Act, the most important legal framework for conservation of natural vegetation on Brazilian private agricultural lands. Past decades have shown improvements in the agricultural sector with respect to productivity and efficiency, along with great reductions in deforestation and growth of environmentally certified production. However, the opposing sides in the debate have ignored this progress and instead continue to entrench their respective combative positions. A structured exchange involving nine experts associated with major producer interests (livestock, crops, planted forest, and charcoal) and environmental NGOs was moderated based on a framework that sorted viewpoints into four categories: (i) common ground – compatible interests considered to be high priority for Brazilian sustainable agricultural development; (ii) serving exclusive nature conservation interest; (iii) serving exclusive agricultural production interest; and (iv) mainly serving the purpose of sustaining dispute. We conclude that the majority of actions and expected future trends reflect achievements and ambitions to balance production and conservation, but much public opinion – and in turn decisions in the parliament and government for agriculture and conservation – is shaped by a perceived conflict between these objectives and a debate that has become, at least to some extent, an end in itself. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
This study aims to answer the question if and how biofuels can be produced in Mexico without aggravating water scarcity, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and avoiding indirect land-use changes. We analyzed environmental impacts of six potential maize-bioethanol production systems in Mexico on water resources, land use, and GHG emissions by using a life cycle assessment approach. Three irrigated high-input maize systems and three rain-fed low-yield systems were analyzed. Inventory data was acquired by soil sampling and interviews with farmers. For the water footprint, field water balances were modeled using the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) AquaCrop Model. For the carbon footprint, the BioGrace tool was used. Based on the results of status-quo analysis, scenarios with improved agricultural management were defined to identify optimization potential. Additionally, the producible amount of biofuels was estimated on a national level. The analyses showed that improving management in rain-fed agriculture offers the best opportunities for biofuel production without compromising regional water availability and without unwanted indirect effects on food prices and GHG emissions. Around 3.4% of Mexican gas consumption could be produced from maize bioethanol in Mexico without the above mentioned unwanted effects. By optimizing green water use in rain-fed maize production, around 3 billion m3 of non-productive soil evaporation would be put into productive use. This is around 10% of the total water extracted from aquifers in Mexico. From this we conclude that unproductive soil evaporation is an underestimated water resource which should be considered in water management. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Jatropha curcas referred as a 'wonder plant' with low water requirement, which can be cultivated on wastelands in dry tropical conditions to provide oil seeds for biodiesel without competing for prime cropland. However, results from experiments and case studies in semi-arid tropical locations in India indicated that evapotranspiration (ET) demand for Jatropha ranges between 750 and 1000 mm under optimal conditions. Jatropha extracted water from soil layer 150 cm below with transpiration requirements of 600–800 mm with increasing age. The yield potential of current genotypes is low (2–3 ton/ha) for realizing the potential of Jatropha cultivation on wastelands subject to limited availability of nutrients and water. Jatropha curcas is drought tolerant, but contrary to belief, it is not a crop that requires less water: in fact, it requires 750–1000 mm water to achieve economic production. However, Jatropha curcas demonstrated good potential for enhancing green water use efficiency without adversely affecting the blue water component, and for promoting crop management options facilitating carbon sequestration and nutrient recycling when grown on degraded lands. Improved cultivars of Jatropha curcas with synchronized flowering to enable mechanical harvesting, along with improved land and water management, are needed for harnessing the potential of Jatropha as a commercially viable biofuel crop. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Energy securities, increases in fossil fuel prices, and concern about climate change have been major causes of increased bioenergy production. Because biomass production is rural-based and generally labor-intensive, bioenergy development happens mainly in less developed countries. Comprehensive analysis is needed to develop appropriate policies to ensure the sustainability of resource use while promoting economic development. Given this, public policies must promote more efficient inter- and intra-sector water allocation schemes. Economic instruments, such as water pricing and water markets, can be used to avoid transferring negative environmental and economic impacts of meeting global renewable energy targets to production regions. In Brazil, water markets are not allowed, but the law has established raw water charges as a management instrument at the river basin level. However, the majority of bulk water charge systems have been defined exclusively for raising revenue. Integrated economic modeling can be a useful tool to support the design of effective economic instruments. This paper describes the main features of two economic modeling approaches that can support effective water pricing decisions. Three case studies illustrate sugarcane ethanol production river basins in Brazil where water prices have already been established but fail to reflect the real scarcity value of water in the region. In addition, preliminary results of a national-level economic model being built for Brazil show that increasing water charges for the agricultural sector can have significant effects on water demand and agriculture production. The potential benefits of water pricing policy decisions based on economic modeling results are assessed. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Termination of depleted orchards generates a large amount of residue, often turned into wood fuel. This operation is particularly difficult with rootstocks, which are laborious to extract and offer a very low-quality fuel. The authors tested a new technology, designed for efficient rootstock extraction. Contrary to conventional excavator-based technology, the new technology is able to cut and lift rootstocks in one single pass. A side-by-side comparative test was conducted on 16 sample plots, in a pear orchard. Clean rootstock weight ranged between 3 and 7 kg, and sample plot yield varied from 4 to 9 t ha−1 fresh rootstocks, depending on varietal. The new technology was five times more productive than the conventional technology, and allowed reduction of rootstock extraction cost by a factor of 3.8. The output–input energy balance was twice as favorable for the new technology, compared with the traditional one. No significant changes were found for what concerned rootstock contamination: the weight of raw rootstocks consisted of over 50% of soil, which would require a separate cleaning operation. Adoption of the new technology described in this paper may dramatically increase the viability of root biomass supply. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
The development of a cellulosic biofuel industry utilizing domestic biomass resources is expected to create opportunities for economic growth resulting from the construction and operation of new biorefineries. We applied an economic input-output model to estimate potential economic impacts, particularly gross job growth, resulting from the construction and operation of biorefineries using three different technology pathways: (i) cellulosic ethanol via biochemical conversion in Iowa, (ii) renewable diesel blendstock via biological conversion in Georgia, and (iii) renewable diesel and gasoline blendstock via fast pyrolysis in Mississippi. Combining direct, indirect (revenue- and supply-chain-related), and induced effects, capital investment associated with the construction of a biorefinery processing 2000 dry metric tons of biomass per day (DMT/day) could yield between 5960 and 8470 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs during the construction period, depending on the biofuel pathways. Fast pyrolysis biorefineries produce the most jobs on a project level thanks to the highest capital requirement among the three pathways. Normalized on the scale of $1 million of capital investment, the fast pyrolysis biorefineries are estimated to yield slighter higher numbers of jobs (12.1 jobs) than the renewable diesel (11.8 jobs) and the cellulosic ethanol (11.6 jobs) biorefineries. While operating biorefineries is not labor-intensive, the annual operation of a 2000 DMT/day biorefinery could support between 720 and 970 jobs when the direct, indirect, and induced effects are considered. The major factor, which results in the variations among the three pathways, is the type of biomass feedstock used for biofuels. Unlike construction jobs, these operation-related jobs are necessary over the entire life of the biorefineries. Our results show that indirect effects stimulated by the operation of biorefineries are the primary contributor to job growth. The agriculture/forest, services, and trade industries are the primary sectors that will benefit from the ongoing operation of biorefineries.

Biodiesel production from vegetable oils has progressively increased over the past two decades. However, due to the low amounts of oil produced per hectare from temperate oilseed crops (e.g. soybean), the opportunities for further increasing biodiesel production are limited. Genetically modified lipid-producing sugarcane (lipid-cane) possesses great potential for producing biodiesel as an alternative feedstock because of sugarcane's much higher productivity compared with soybean. In this study, techno-economic models were developed for biodiesel and ethanol coproduction from lipid-cane, assuming 2, 5, 10, or 20% lipid concentration in the harvested stem (dry mass basis). The models were compared with a conventional soybean biodiesel process model to assess lipid-cane's competiveness. In the lipid-cane process model, the extracted lipids were used to produce biodiesel by transesterification, and the remaining sugar was used to produce ethanol by fermentation. The results showed that the biodiesel production cost from lipid-cane decreased from $0.89/L to $0.59 /L as the lipid content increased from 2 to 20%; this cost was lower than that obtained for soybeans ($1.08/L). The ethanol production costs from lipid-cane were between $0.40/L and $0.46/L. The internal rate of return (IRR) for the soybean biodiesel process was 15.0%, and the IRR for the lipid-cane process went from 13.7 to 24.0% as the lipid content increased from 2 to 20%. Because of its high productivity, lipid-cane with 20% lipid content can produce 6700 L of biodiesel from each hectare of land, whereas soybean can only produce approximately 500 L of biodiesel from each hectare of land. This would indicate that continued efforts to achieve lipid-producing sugarcane could make large-scale replacement of fossil-fuel-derived diesel without unrealistic demands on land area. © 2016 The Authors.

Palm oil production is a leading contributor to tropical deforestation, resulting in habitat destruction, increased carbon dioxide emissions, and local smog clouds across South East Asia. Palm oil is widely used for food, as a biofuel precursor, and in soaps and cosmetics. The global demand for palm oil is approximately 57 m tonnes a−1 and is steadily increasing. Alternatively, oleaginous yeast offers a highly credible renewable substitute. Over 80 species of oleaginous yeast are known, many of which have been demonstrated to catabolize a wide range of mono- and oligosaccharides in lignocellulose hydrolyzates. Many of the yeasts have demonstrated a high tolerance to furfurals and organic acid inhibitors and can be cultured at low pH, ideal for the industrial production of oil from lignocellulosic sources such as stover, forestry wastes, or energy crops. While the majority of the yeasts produce predominantly monounsaturated esters, some species are capable of producing oils higher in saturates akin to palm oil. While the manufacture of yeast oils on an industrial scale has been demonstrated, currently no large-scale production from lignocellulose exists; however, through further strain selection, metabolic engineering, and valorization of co-products, the production of a substitute oil from yeast is potentially feasible. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

Looking like a Hitchhike to Rhome-era Rhett Miller of Old 97s (minus the glasses), Farewell Drifters frontman Zach Bevill might be the world's first bluegrass pinup. His Nashville quintet employed a slew of friends armed with mandolins, fiddles, and banjos to make the pop-influenced Americana of their full-length debut, Yellow Tag Mondays. If it's sunny, harmony-laden roots music you seek, these songs would make a fine addition to your next mix CD alongside the Jayhawks and Avett Brothers, especially "Virginia Bell", "Wake Up", and the Beatles cover "For No One". If you prefer either cynicism or cornpone gimmicks, you're barking up the wrong tree. These guys don't do angst, and they don't wear overalls.

Juventus coach Antonio Conte says his side can be "insurmountable" after Lyon boss Remi Garde compared them to a mountain.
The sides are set to meet in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final in France on Thursday, with Juve having edged past compatriots Fiorentina in the last round.
The Turin outfit currently sit 11 points clear at the top of Serie A, prompting Garde to remark: "We have a mountain before us and should try to climb it by all means."
And, when Conte followed Garde in facing the press on Wednesday, he set his players the challenge of being impossible to conquer over two legs, declaring: "Juventus are a mountain to climb? We'll look to make it insurmountable."
Juve will need to bounce back from their weekend defeat against Napoli if they are to gain an early advantage in the tie, but Conte is confident his players will show a positive reaction.
"I hope the defeat to Napoli gives us the strength to face the final sprint in the best way," he said. "I'm expecting a great display tomorrow.
"Lyon have had success in recent times and possess fine players. We've studied them and are aware of their strong and weak areas.
"We'll face Lyon aware of the importance the first leg holds in the eventual destiny of getting through to the next round.
"We should be proud at being respected by teams like Lyon who, up until a few years ago, were ahead of us."
Conte also stressed his pride at being the only Italian team remaining in European competition.
"We need to be proud of the fact that we're the only Italian team left in Europe for the second year running," he added.

My overall experience was not bad. The employees were very pleasant and patient when making our orders despite the fact we (my colleagues and I) had to be complicated. We could tell they were still getting used to the stations, and they seemed unsure and as a result a little slow. The middle of my pizza was a bit soggy and soupy as was the same for the other two people I was with. The flavor, however, was very good. I know now I just need to ask to have mine cooked a little longer. The ventilation in the restaurant was nonexistent, not that it was hot inside, but the smoke from the oven filled the location and it seemed odd that it did not have any proper form of exhaust. I think I will be waiting a little while before trying them again so they can get the kinks worked out. They have great potential to be very good and something new and exciting to the area.

Hilton's Christopher Nassetta to Keynote Hunter Hotel Investment Conference
Thursday January 16th, 2014 - 10:05AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
ATLANTA—Christopher J. Nassetta, president/CEO of Hilton Worldwide, will be the keynote speaker at the 26th annual Hunter Hotel Investment Conference being held March 26-28 at the Marriott Marquis here.
"Mr. Nassetta has demonstrated outstanding leadership in fostering a healthy and vibrant corporate culture, and has made tremendous strides in global hotel development, best practices and corporate responsibility," stated Bob Hunter, conference co-chair and CEO of Hunter Hotel Advisors. "He will share his invaluable viewpoints with our industry's top executives."
Nassetta is largely credited for leading Hilton Worldwide's growth by a third since taking the reins in 2007. The global lodging company has more than 4,000 hotels and nearly 672,000 rooms worldwide, including timeshares, with 97,520 rooms under construction.
The three-day Hunter Hotel Investment Conference is owner and investor-focused, with a strong emphasis on real estate and finance. In addition to Nassetta, the agenda will feature speakers and panel discussions by industry insiders on topics ranging from financing to new development. The 2014 conference theme is "The Time is Now!" to reflect optimism in the solid rebound of every sector in the hotel industry.
"This conference is all about education and networking," stated Lee Hunter, conference co-chair and COO of Hunter Hotel Advisors. "We've earned the loyalty of our patrons by featuring the most influential industry experts, including this year's keynote Mr. Nassetta, and by providing an environment conducive to deal making."

With all of the question marks that always exist when it comes to navigating current conditions and forecasting future ones—i.e. the all-too-common inning analogy—and calls to action to advocate for the hospitality industry, one thing seemed overwhelming clear: the reminder that with all of the concerns and considerations, the hotel business is experiencing opportunity that is at an all-time high.

Your Taxes: Israeli tax breaks for business get even better
* Privileged Enterprises and Approved Enterprises must be competitive and not overly dependent on the market of any one country - in practice, this translates into a 25% export requirement in all industries except biotechnology and nanotechnology.
Suppose your company does not meet the export requirement and is not in the bio or nano sectors? The new regulations let companies enjoy the preferential tax regime if they supply components to other Israeli companies for incorporation in products which are exported. This is colloquially referred to as "indirect exports."

Gaurav Sharma wants the votes of residents of South Mumbai, India, and he'll go to almost any lengths — or heights — to get them.
An Independent candidate for the lower house of the Parliament of India, Sharma is a martial-arts instructor better known as the Indian Spider-Man. Earlier this year he donned the familiar red-and-blue costume of the Marvel superhero to climb one of Mumbai's tallest buildings in record time, but now he's scaling apartment complexes and jumping from window to window and balcony to balcony to drum up support.
