Energy Basics • Energy: The capacity to do work • Work: Application of force over a
distance • Power: The rate at which work is done
• Energy is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs)
• 1 gallon of gasoline contains about 100,000 BTUs of Energy

Challenges of Some Renewables
• Ever tried to drive a car powered by a wind turbine?
• Would you be willing to only heat your home when the sun shines?
• How about using only paddlewheels to run your assembly line?

Why Bioenergy?"Major Premise:
Agriculture will increasingly provide the raw materials and energy needed to drive our transition to a sustainable world

Why Bioenergy?"- Renewable
- Biomass is the only renewable that directly reduces our dependency on liquid fuels!
- Can be created from waste products
- Can be produced on marginal lands that are often unsuitable for food production
- Can help to decrease environmental impacts when used in place of fossil fuels
- May help to increase energy efficiency
- Will help the US become more energy independent
- Will help create jobs

SAM'S VOICE: I have a big deal coming up that's going to make us all rich. George, you remember that night in Martini's bar when you told me you read someplace about making plastics out of soybeans?
GEORGE: Huh? Yeah-yeah-yeah . . . soybeans. Yeah.
SAM'S VOICE: Well, Dad's snapped up the idea. He's going to build a factory outside of Rochester. How do you like that?

• Energy issues are not going away – supply, demand, cost
• We need research, education, and infrastructure to transfer the technology to move to larger scales
• Today’s students will help discover and develop the solutions for tomorrow’s
energy needs • Bioenergy, biofuels, and bio-based products
are going to be an important component of the solutions!
Why Bioenergy?"

The Systems Approach
What is a System?
- A system is “something” built from many other components, which interact for a common purpose
- To define a system, we must include its context, behavior or purpose and structure
![Page 38: The sustainability challenge and the role of ag-biosciences](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/554bfd68b4c905390b8b49a8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

The Systems Approach ! The systems approach is a methodological process that develops solutions by considering all of the Inter-related parts of a system and their impact on the system as a whole
OR
! OPTIMIZING each component individually, then OPTIMIZING system as a whole, which may require altering the individual components
![Page 39: The sustainability challenge and the role of ag-biosciences](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062307/554bfd68b4c905390b8b49a8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Examples of Designed Systems ! The commercial air transportation system ! A Boeing 787 aircraft ! A computer system network
! Energy “system”, regional or national scale
Many systems at one level can be
considered subsystems at another level
Key Ideas: • Interaction • Feedback
• Broad-based • Systematic

SYSTEMS THINKING • A systems approach assesses the energy
yield, carbon neutrality, and the full impact of biofuel production on downstream and downwind ecosystems.
• It takes into account all of the flows, controls, and storage of materials and energy. A positive energy yield means that more energy is produced than is consumed by its extraction and transport.
• Carbon neutrality means that any fossil fuel carbon used in the production of biofuels is offset by carbon sequestration elsewhere in the system
