Abstract

The economic feasibility of utilizing corn stover as a coal supplement in small to medium-sized, coal-burning steam-electric plants appears promising, particularly when the low sulfur emission value of corn stover is considered. Two case steam-electric power plants located in Ames, Iowa, and Peru, Indiana, are analyzed utilizing three harvest and collection systems and alternative values for several key technical and economic parameters. These results combined with data from a sample of steam-electric plants in the north central United States are used to assess the potential for this renewable low sulfur energy source.
