Stationary sources of CO2 arise from a wide range of industrial and commercial activities, and their characteristics can vary between facilities in terms of CO2 purity, the type and percentage of any trace contaminants, and the temperature and pressure of emissions (EPA 2022a). Based on EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) data, it is estimated that 2,724 million tons of CO2 were emitted by stationary sources in 2022 (EPA 2022b). About 95% (2,584 million tons) comes from non-biogenic sources, and the remaining 5% (141 million tons) is from biogenic sources.

The U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technology Office's (BETO's) 2023 Billion-Ton Report (BT23) is an assessment of renewable carbon resources potentially available in the United States. BT23 explores these resources in terms of quantity, price, geographical density and distribution, and market maturity. Resource quantities in this report are limited by specified economic and environmental sustainability constraints. Good practices are needed to ensure biomass production has positive environmental outcomes.

BT23 supports BETO's mission, particularly the 2023 Multi-Year Program Plan.

This data reflects the latest analysis from the 2022 Algae Harmonization Update, which uses the latest parameterized and high-performing saline algal strain, second-generation carbon capture of point-source waste CO₂ and high-pressure pipeline transport resolved to specific point-source types, saline water sourcing up to 40,000 mg/L total dissolved solids for source and makeup water salinity, blowdown water treatment and recycle, and brine disposal handling.

Description:

Land-screening sites based on culmination of data through 2020 at a minimum contiguous area of 1,000 acres

Modeled biomass growth based on lab parameterizations of Tetraselmis striata LANL 1001 saline strain (DISCOVR program) using 40-years of hourly meteorology from NLDAS-2.

Microalgae growth model coupled with a pond temperature model at 10 acres per pond running at an operating salinity of 55,000 mg/L.

Cultivation productivity targets 26 g/m²-day annual average based on nutrient-replete, high-protein biomass composition at harvest.

Microalgae harvest set at a density of 0.5 g/L to maximize productivity.

Harvested microalgae sent through three-stage dewatering via gravity settling, membrane concentration, and centrifugation to 200 g/L.

Saline groundwater used as the exclusive source of water that is accessed at depths no greater than 500 m

Blowdown water disposal via forward osmosis brine concentration and well injection; clarified water from forward osmosis is recycled internally within the algae farm.

CO2 capture and transport uses 2020 viable point-sources and reported annual mass, with capture costs and energy demands varying by CO2 concentration in the point source; CO2 utilization efficiency of the microalgae is set at 75%

Urea and diammonium phosphate are used as nitrogen/phosphorus nutrients and are based on biomass productivity and composition

We present an updated estimate of potential biomass supplies from agricultural lands. The potential for farmers to respond to new markets for biomass has been assessed with the Policy Analysis System Model (POLYSYS) in previous versions of the billion-ton report (DOE 2017, 2016, 2011) and other studies (Oyedeji et al. 2021; Davis et al. 2020; Langholtz et al. 2019; Woodbury et al. 2018; Eaton, Langholtz, and Davis 2018; Langholtz et al. 2014; Langholtz et al. 2012; Jensen et al. 2007; De la Torre Ugarte and Ray 2000; Hellwinckel et al. 2015). Building on previous analyses, POLYSYS was used to update estimates of biomass supplies and prices from agricultural lands given environmental, land use, and technical constraints. The POLYSYS model, methods, and constraints are summarized in the chapter and detailed in the appendix. Changes from previous billion-ton reports include the use of the new 2023 USDA baseline, reporting of mature-market biomass supplies (see chapter Section 5.2: Methods Summary), oilseed supply estimates, and reporting of changes to carbon emissions and soil sequestration.

Note: Oilseed Crops have rotations and therefore may have duplicate rows by resource with differing production units. Users may sum these production numbers for aggregated data.

Note 2: Cotton gin trash and Rice hulls are downloaded separately and were not included in visualizations by resource.
