80to, and participate in OBP analytic planning efforts. Conduct analysis pertaining to biomass incentive
policies or other biomass issues as requested. Provide assistance to NEMS and MARKAL modeling of
biomass markets. Update refinery modeling work as needed by the benefits analysis task and RFS
analysis task. Collaborate with USDA analysts and others on a growing biorefinery industry’s effects on
the agricultural sector and biomass prices.
Document enhancements made to biomass market models. Update biofuels facts document and provide
relevant information to contractors working on the Biomass Data Book and Transportation Energy Data
Book. Add new or updated biomass data to EERE website and other media.
Continue to provide environmental and tax incentive information to external and internal requesters and
to countries that plan to deploy biofuels. Support exchange of information by authoring memoranda and
white papers; responding to inquiries; and attending meetings and workshops as requested.
3.5.1.4 Biomass Benefits Analysis (ORNL, TMS, University of TN)
Analysis Plan
Keep abreast of information coming out of biomass multi-year technical plans (MYTPs) and updated
targets in future budget request revisions. Review and support GPRA modeling assumptions and
methodology. Run and/or review results of ELSASBioref, the Integrated Biomass Market Model,
POLYSYS and other models to develop benefits for MARKAL and NEMS in support of budget requests.
Develop GPRA documentation for EERE Benefits website.
3.5.1.5/3.5.1.6 GREET Environmental Modeling and Participation in “Role of Biomass in America’s
Energy Future” Study (Analysis: Biomass and Hydrogen Pathways) (ANL, University of CA, DAA)
GREET Analysis Plan
ANL will update prior life cycle analysis of corn and cellulosic ethanol and work with other LCA experts
to resolve or clarify the basis for major differences in benefits associated with ethanol with a major focus
on corn ethanol in FY05.
ANL will update biomass-based fuels pathways and evaluate additional fuels/vehicles pathways,
including biomass-to-hydrogen ones as the need arises. ANL will also summarize its findings for use by
DOE and stakeholders when requested.
RBAEF Project Analysis Objective
Determine the feasibility of biomass becoming a major energy source in the United States and estimate a
timeframe for that societal change.
RBAEF Project Analysis Status
RBAEF project will be completed in FY05.
RBAEF Analysis Plan
The study involves Dartmouth University (funded by the Biomass Program), ANL (funded by PBA), and
NRDC (funded by the Energy Foundation and the National Commission on Energy Policy). Dartmouth
University focuses on technology and resource assessment. NRDC focuses on sustainability assessment
and policy implications. The Dartmouth subteam includes Princeton University and ANL.
