Feedstocks Platform Review

April 7-8, 2011



Feedstock Logistics - Cost Goals(MYPP)

Reduce handling & logistics cost of a model dry herbaceous feedstock(i.e., corn stover) for biochemical conversion plant to $0.39 per gal of ethanol – app. $35/DT in 2007 $ by 2012 (matured production cost of ethanol is estimated as $1.76/gal by 2012)

Achieve same cost goals for a broader range of herbaceous feedstocks by

2017

For woody feedstocks the cost goal for harvest to gasification plant-gate is$0.49 per gal of ethanol – equiv. to $35/DT in 2007 $ by 2012

Achieve same cost goals for a wider range of woody feedstocks by 2017



Feedstock Logistics – Volumetric Goals(MYPP)

Logistics for feedstock handling systems shall

enable supply of 130 million DT/yr by 2012 tobiofuels conversion plants

250 million DT/yr by 2017

On-going Challenges

Need to develop and validate large-scale cost-

effective feedstock supply systems (see tomorrow’sindustrial partners’ presentations)

DOE Labs & Universities work on a wide range of

problems and R&D issues; industrial partners workwith specific feedstocks, equipment and systems

The objective is to get the two groups to function

together to cross-pollinate ideas and to demonstratesystems using the best science, methods andeffective equipment

Objectives

To develop and validate large-scale supply systems to

handle various feedstocks (both woody and herbaceous)and guide towards meeting DOE cost reduction goals.

Industrial partners working on specific equipment and

systems are expected to develop pioneering systemsshowing real advances in equipment, processes, etc.

Develop data and analyses that display the validation of

these systems and the progress achieved such thatresearchers and developers can move forward from thispoint as these projects are completed in about 2-3 years.
