(MOC Requirements)

Other detailed testing requirements are intended for process start-up and MOC, but are applied for each

batch for annexes A2-A5.

D7566 Permits Blending Up to 50% with Existing Annexes

Each of these blend components

underwent extensive D4054 testing and

evaluation

Proposed D7566 Generic Annex

∗ Not Limited to Specific Conversion Pathway or Specific Feedstock

∗ Producer NOT Required to Negotiate D4054 Process∗ But Blend % Limited to 5 – 10%∗ True “commodity” Specification

D7566 Generic Annex Concept

∗ Some Concerns:∗ Improved Test Methods Required

∗ Hydrocarbon Composition (D2425)∗ Oxygenates (at very low detectability level) ∗ Hydrocarbon Molecular Class Distribution/Limits∗ C Number Distribution∗ GC x GC Not Yet Standardized∗ Others?

∗ Tracking/Monitoring of Producers?∗ Any Producer Can Make Fuel Provided it Meets Generic
