The Jo-Carroll Depot Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) was awarded a $4,500,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (CFDA 81.087 Renewable Energy Research and Development) to assess the feasibility of establishing a biofuels facility at the Savanna Industrial Park in Savanna, Illinois. The key objectives of this project are to determine the suitability of collecting, transporting, and converting woody biomass feedstock, including dead standing timber from recent floods, into renewable natural gas or synthetic gas via advanced bioconversion technologies such as gasification or anaerobic digestion. The study will provide a robust dataset to evaluate the reliability and productivity of this feedstock as a primary energy source, as well as the logistics around sourcing, processing, aggregation, and transportation. This feasibility assessment will inform future commercial-scale development of biofuels production at the site, potentially leading to the expansion of feedstocks, conversion technologies, and product offerings.
