Biomass Market Models
7/2004 Biomass market model
enhanced and used to support
NEMS and MARKAL analyses.
2/2005 Complete documentation of
ELSASBioref and EBSA
(biomass benefits models).
7/2005 Add data for carbon policy
scenario.
9/2005 Integrated Biomass Model -
version 1 documentation (this is
ELSASBioref in a speeded-up
version with GREET benefit
factors and capability for adding
future thermochemical biomass
technology data).
9/2006 Add POLYSYS agricultural
impacts for scenarios of 0.5,
0.75 and 1 billion dry tons of
biomass/year to Integrated
Biomass Model.
9/2006 Add relevant information from
the Role of Biomass study.
9/2007 Update Integrated Biomass
Model based on OBP’s
biorefinery analysis and USDA
resource analysis completed in
FY06. Add thermochemical
performance and cost data
provided by the program.
9/2008 Conduct RYM enhancement of
petroleum refining modules.
Add economic effects from
input-output model as response
function to Integrated Biomass
Model. Update 2001 study of
fuels distribution infrastructure
and costs for scenarios of 0.5,
0.75 and 1billion dry tons of
biomass/year.
9/2009 Incorporate new
thermochemical data from OBP
and new fuels distribution costs
into Integrated Biomass Model.
Add risk considerations.
9/2009 Update regional supply/demand
and fuels distribution flows of
Integrated Biomass Model.
9/2009
Update POLYSYS and other
biomass models.
9/2010 Update Integrated Biomass
Model with new energy crop
and harvesting/storage cost data
from USDA and OBP.
