| Our groups performed a conceptual design of a manufacturing facility that uses either field corn to produce anhydrous ethanol or soybeans to produce biodiesel as a transportation biofuel. Students choose a site in Minnesota that will have the most similar climate in 2050 to Iowa in 2025. The facility should be on a 350-acre farm (average size of a corn farm in Iowa) and have seven 3-megawatt wind turbines with enough energy storage to supply power for 8,400 operating hours per year. |
