The Analysis Plan
Figure 8, taken from the MYTP, illustrates where analysis lies in the overall OBP structure.
Platform level analysis integrates closely with the R&D projects, and the crosscutting effort under
program analysis ties all of the platform analysis together in biorefinery design. The other
component of program analysis is the PBA-led efforts at DOE. A new analysis task in the multi-
year technical plan, Integrated Biorefinery Analysis, was proposed but not funded in FY04. The
integration opportunities are greater now than ever with program wide planning established. The
different laboratories that are performing analysis have increased communication opportunities
thanks to the creation of the NBC and the integrated vision of the OBP.

The Gantt charts in Figures 9 through 14 show the schedules for major projects managed by the
analysis teams in the NBC. In an effort to show an “analysis snapshot” the Gantt charts,
milestones and resources for all the areas are shown together. Analysis in support of specific
R&D projects and their milestones is discussed in this section; however, for the R&D project
timing, refer to the MYTP Gantt charts. Ongoing analysis, such as updates to the state of
technology and barrier cost curves, are annual events. The feedstock interface analysis plan is
divided into supply forecasting and supply system logistics. The sugar platform core R&D
analysis support efforts are modest; however, there is a significant amount of analysis work being
performed by NREL engineers in the Bioenergy CRADAs (Broin, Dupont and Abengoa) in the
Integrated Biorefineries area. The thermochemical analysis plan was well defined for 2004; based
on the results of key projects in 2004, we’ll be able to better define the plan for 2005-2008.
Products analysis will become better defined as the products core R&D plan is developed.
Development of demand curves, necessary to estimate intermediate outcomes, is missing in the
project descriptions. Historically, that work has been part of program analysis (see Section 6.6)
but it is better suited as new projects within the two platforms – sugar and thermochemical.
