This report explores the financial, technical, and social feasibility of converting ARS into energy as an alternative to the agricultural practice of field burning ARS. Specifically, the research is intended to answer: Is it possible to convert Ryegrass straw into energy as an economic alternative for seed growers to field burning?Note"Submitted to the Agricultural Research Foundation to the Oregon Seed Council and Oregon Department of Agriculture Alternatives to Field Burning Research Financial Assistance Program."Additional authors: Resource Innovations, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, UO; Novus Energy Group; Trillium FiberFuels; eDev; Northwest Cooperative Development Center; Sylvatex Inc.; Lane Council of Governments; and Good Company.Includes appendixes with full research documents that provide in-depth understanding of the research elements.Includes bibliographical references.Support and resources provided by Energy Trust of Oregon, Oregon Dept. of Energy, Oregon Dept. of Environmental Quality, Oregon Economic Revitalization Team, and USDA Agricultural Research ServiceText in English.
