Use case of Central Valley of California
How BIOANG Provides Effective Bioeconomy Consulting Services
The Central Valley of California is one of the world’s most productive agricultural regions, known for its diverse crops and significant agricultural output.
ALMONDS
- Production: California produces more than 80% of the world’s almonds, with the majority of production concentrated in the Central Valley. In 2021, approximately 1.33 million acres were dedicated to almond cultivation, yielding nearly 3 billion pounds (1.36 million tonnes) of almonds.
- Waste Generated: Almond shells, hulls, and pruning residues. These can be used as biomass for energy generation or as material for composting.
GRAPES
- Production: California is the largest grape producer in the U.S., with over 800,000 acres dedicated to vineyards, primarily in the Central Valley. In 2021, about 7.2 million tonnes of grapes were produced, with a large portion used for wine production.
- Waste Generated: Pruning canes, grape pomace (skins and seeds), and fermentation residues. Grape pomace can be used in biofuel production or as soil amendments.
TOMATOES
- Production: The Central Valley accounts for more than 90% of the processed tomatoes in the U.S. In 2021, around 12.6 million tonnes of tomatoes were produced in this region.
- Waste Generated: Tomato residues such as stems, leaves, and skins, which can be processed into biogas or used as compost additives.
ALFALFA
- Production: Alfalfa is an important forage crop in the Central Valley, with more than 800,000 acres dedicated to its cultivation. The annual production is approximately 7 million tonnes.
- Waste Generated: Harvest residues and unused biomass, which can be converted into biogas or used to produce biomass pellets.
LETTUCE
- Production: Although the Central Valley is not as well known for lettuce production as the Central Coast, it still contributes significantly with over 120,000 acres cultivated annually.
- Waste Generated: Outer leaves, stems, and non-marketable residues, useful for compost production or biogas generation.
ORANGES
- Production: Orange production in the Central Valley represents a significant portion of California’s citrus production, with approximately 135,000 acres cultivated and an annual yield of over 2 million tonnes.
