Analysis Plan
The Feedstock Supply-Chain Analysis Area will focus on developing analytical tools for optimizing
overall logistics of the infrastructure system as well as on tools for estimating the supply and costs of
grower payments and the amount and price of agricultural residues and energy crops.
A professor from Clarkson University who specializes in groundwater contamination will take a
sabbatical and work at NREL to help understand the environmental implications of biomass production
from a life cycle perspective. There will also be a significant amount of contact with ORNL. This work
will include a literature review to identify the range of contaminants for a given feedstock, collecting data
to determine what level of contaminant modeling could be done as well as assessing where data gaps
exist, and a preliminary evaluation of the magnitude of the impacts in order to set priorities for further
investigation.
