BioCORN 2011

Biofuel Crops emission of Ozone pRecursors iNtensive (BioCORN)

Intensive I: July 14-July 28, Intensive II: August 15-August 31, 2011

Ft. Collins, CO

Various ground-based instruments.

Investigators in this project include researchers from NOAA ESRL Chemical Sciences Division and the University of Colorado.

Science Questions:

What are the dominant VOCs from biofuel crops: corn, poplars, switchgrass, and Miscanthus?
What are the likely oxidation products?
What is the total aerosol and ozone forming potential?
What biofuel plant species and/or cultivars have the lowest VOC/SVOC emissions?
