Agricultural residues are the biomass materials remaining after harvesting agricultural crops. These residues include wheat straw, corn stover (leaves, stalks, and cobs), orchard trimmings, rice straw and husks, and bagasse (sugar cane residue). Due to the high costs for recovering most agricultural residues, they are not yet widely used for energy purposes; however, they can offer a sizeable biomass resource if supply infrastructures are developed to economically recover and deliver them to energy facilities. An estimated 2,524,000 dry tons per year is available from corn stover and wheat straw in Colorado.

Pulp and paper mills, many of which were built in the 1800s, haven’t changed much in their many decades of operation. Of Course, product improvements and process efficiencies have been developed and implemented, but the basic infrastructure and purpose of the mills remain the same. All this is about to change as pulp and paper mills are positioned to become the next biorefineries.
