Genera Energy has launched its first mobile agriculture app, Biomass. It was developed to serve as a tool for planning, selecting and calculating biofuel crop needs, for use in Android and Apple devices.
The app offers features such as a biomass crop library with detailed information, photos and maps for biomass crops in the U.S. Another feature is a multi-function biomass calculator that helps determine how much biomass will be needed for a specific situation, including conversion technology, conversion rate, and location. The app will provide realistic projections and crop suggestions based on actual field studies.
"The information that the app is built on is the result of years of research and development in the biofuels management industry. Probably the most important aspect in developing the app was working directly with biomass producers, project developers, and policy makers across the different aspects of the industry," said Sam Jackson, Vice President of Business Development for Genera Energy, Inc.
