Pre-Feasibility Analysis of Pellet Manufacturing on the Former Loring Air Force Base Site
Open accessAbstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, in accordance with the RE-Powering America's Lands initiative, engaged the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to conduct feasibility studies to assess the viability of developing renewable energy generating facilities on contaminated sites. This site, in Limestone, Maine -- formerly the location of the Loring Air Force Base but now owned by the Aroostook Band of Micmac -- was selected for the potential to produce heating pellets from woody feedstock. Biomass was chosen as the renewable energy resource to evaluate based on abundant woody-biomass resources available in the area. NREL also evaluates potential savings from converting existing Micmac property from oil-fired heating to pellet heating.

These energy crops could provide flexibility for processing plants because they can be strategically deployed to optimize efficiency of biofuels production.
“These energy crops could provide flexibility for processing plants because they can be strategically (i.e. spatially and temporally) deployed to optimize efficiency of biofuels production 22 .”
From Economic and life cycle assessments of biomass utilization for bioenergy products (2017) · cites this paper as [22]
Section 5 assesses woody feedstock availability for a pellet facility, and Section 2 discusses biomass projects on brownfield sites. Neither passage addresses energy crops being deployed spatially or temporally to give processing plants flexibility or optimize biofuels production. Searches for those terms and for “energy crops” found no passage making that point; page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
