Biloxi, Mississippi Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Forest Concepts LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for innovation in sustainable biomass processing. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 7987777, titled ‘Engineered tall grass biomass baling system’, introduces a more efficient method for harvesting and baling tall grass for renewable energy and agricultural use.
This system transforms bulky, hard-to-handle tall grasses into compact bales that are easier to store, transport, and process. The design focuses on reshaping tall biomass into uniform packages without damaging the material’s energy potential.
Unlike traditional balers that are optimized for hay or straw, this invention handles the unique structure and volume of tall grasses. It improves compaction, reduces energy waste, and lowers the cost of biomass logistics.
The system supports the growing demand for biofuels, soil restoration, and sustainable farming practices. By making it easier to collect and store plant-based material, it advances efforts to replace fossil fuels with greener alternatives.
Forest Concepts continues to lead in green tech innovation. This patented solution not only boosts the value of tall grass crops but also contributes to climate-friendly resource management across agricultural and energy sectors.
